Realistic pastel portrait of a female orangutan in shadow, gazing outward with quiet intensity; soft light highlights her fur and face, evoking a sense of connection, fragility, and quiet strength.

"Silent Bond"

Her gaze was enough – looking toward us but not quite at us, as if we’re already losing her.

“Silent Bond” captures the in-between space – not gone, not safe. It speaks of fragility and transition, of the unspoken connection between species, and the quiet responsibility we carry: to protect, to respect, to co-exist.

Realistic artwork of a Chesapeake Bay Retriever

"Train"

This portrait celebrates the legacy of a remarkable dog. Train's scent detection work protected entire ecosystems, influenced conservation policies, and earned him a statue in Parque Provincial Urugua-í, where he is honoured as a true hero.

But more than that, Train was the much-loved pup of his handler. They became an inseparable team covering thousands of miles together for conservation research.

Original artwork of a red-breasted Robin on a snowy branch with a snowy background

"Everglow"

Do you see the little glow in the robin’s feathers? "Everglow" captures the beauty of a red-breasted robin, a much-loved visitor in my parents’ garden. In British folklore, the robin is often seen as a guardian of loved ones, adding a quiet, comforting presence to this piece. The soft glow of its feathers hints at the spirits of those we hold dear. It’s a quiet tribute to my wonderful Mum and Dad.

"Tigger Bounce - Scooby"

Scooby traveled the world doing important work for big cat conservation. From Africa where he sniffed for lion, cheetah, leopards, servals and caracals to Cambodia for tiger research and Nepal sniffing for Clouded Leopards.

Scooby’s enthusiasm was unmatched - he would bop up and down in excitement like Tigger whenever it was time to get to work.

Scooby is part of Rogues’ Gallery. This series of original portraits celebrates the lives and legacy of six wonderful conservation detection dogs.

"The Tail-Blazer - Gator"

The pioneer Rogue Detection Dog. Gator could be credited with initiating much of what this field now knows about what a conservation detection dog is. He was one of the first dogs to ever sniff for orca whale scat from the bow of a boat!

Gator is part of Rogues’ Gallery. This series of original portraits celebrates the lives and legacy of six wonderful conservation detection dogs.
