A lovely butterfly video I took at the Insectarium in Montreal, QC, Canada a couple of weeks ago. It is a fantastic place, if you get a chance to go. #butterfly

It's one of my macro shots this summer. Damselfly. OM-D Mark5iii, Olympus 60mm macro lens

Inspired by the grace and elegance of shore birds, this ceramic sculpture captures the bird in a serene resting pose perched atop a ceramic plinth adorned with images of fish. This vibrantly coloured piece creates a powerful connection between species and ecosystems.

Do you like frogs and toads? This is one of my new pieces this year.

As canaries were signs of poor air quality in coal mines, frogs and toads are those canaries for our water environments. Nearly 50% of Canada’s frogs are at risk.

My high colour work had considerable attention at the latest juried show. They created lots of conversations about my concerns about loss of biodiversity.

I'm happy with the new work. I'm focusing on producing appealing animal sculptures that stimulate conversations about loss of biodiversity.
