The entwined pose of these very social creatures perfectly symbolises the harmony they bring to Madagascar’s fragile ecosystems.

"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.

"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.
