Art That Gives Back

I like my art to do a little more than hang on a wall.

Some of my work is connected directly to the wildlife, landscapes and communities that inspired it, with a portion of sales donated back to conservation projects.

My Glossy Black Cockatoo cards and prints help support Wildlife Preservation Clarence Valley, an organisation I helped establish to protect threatened wildlife and habitat in the Clarence Valley. The original Family of Glossys painting also raised $1,200 for WPCV, and each new sale allows that support to continue. (Browse Glossy cards & prints)

My Woodford Folk Festival sketches support Woodfordia’s Forest of Goodwill. A portion of profits from prints and other products featuring my Woodford artworks is donated to the forest, helping support environmental restoration and conservation at Woodfordia. (Browse Woodford cards & prints)

It is a simple way of connecting my art back to the places and species that give me so much inspiration.
