Growing up near a rain-forest, and helping my father show tourists the coral reefs of Trinidad and  Tobago, I quickly became obsessed with all the fishes, birds, and beetles in my backyard. My passion for  nature has led me to explore the beauty of these creatures through an artistic lens. I use neon watercolour  paint, white acrylic paint, colour pencil and ink to capture each tiny detail, showcasing the unique  characteristics, from the vibrant colors and patterns of the peacock spiders and the flamingo tongue  worm, to the delicate feathers of a barn owl and hummingbird. As an artist, I want to shine a light on a diverse and complex world we often overlook or can't even see. I hope my paintings can inspire others to  take action to protect and preserve nature for future generations.
