Happy New Year! Happy New Changes!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful festive season and are all ready to hit the ground running for 2018!

One of my main New Years Resolutions is to make regular updates on this website, I am forever paranoid how long ago it is since I last made a blog post.

For this reason, I am going to be making a few changes around here. Read More

Let’s stop wildlife crime!

Ban Driven Grouse Shooting!

Earlier this year, I went to Bird Fair 2017 for the first time.

I was only able to go for a few hours due to my health, but in that time I met so many inspiring naturalists with a keen interest in wildlife and conservation, just like me.Read More

Repeat Skull Pattern Scarves & Textiles

Skull Scarves, Oddities and the rebrand of ‘Perished Pets’

Remember the repeat skull pattern series I developed a while back? Well, I got them made in to epic things!!!

Initially, I thought they would look great as an exclusive set of posh wallpapers. I went on a quest and reached out to a whole bunch of retailers to see if they were interested, but with unfortunately no luck.

But it all worked out great in the end!Read More

‘The Anatomy Of’ Watercolour Series

‘The Anatomy Of…’ Watercolour Bird Art Series

I have forever been inspired by anatomy and wildlife, birds in particular and this original art series is simply a collision of my two inspirations.
I have always strived for perfection in my art, but this particular project has made me realise that I love the imperfections of the looser style of painting as I was experimenting. It’s completely unpredictable how the watercolours will bleed, how the drips will influence the painting and what patterns they will make, which makes these artworks completely unique and it’s exciting to watch them develop.
As a taxidermist, I’m constantly looking at and reciting anatomical references for my work. The idea of mixing this ‘Skeleton’ layer with the watercolour paintings came to me at 3am one morning – I tried it out the next day on a transparent layer and completely fell in love with the end result.
Once the paintings are framed, it becomes an almost interactive piece; If you look at it at a certain angle, the skeleton later aligns perfectly with the painting below.
True beauty comes from within.
