I have been painting and drawing wildlife since 1965, after my first visit to Kruger National Park, game reserve, South Africa, where I lived for 44 years. I have visited game parks in South Africa and neighboring countries, and in North America. I have held 14 solo shows; 3 two-man shows and 220 group shows, of which more than 100 were museum exhibitions. My work has been exhibited on bird shows in S. Africa. Since 1985, my work has shown at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum’s ”Birds in Art” and in a1993 I was awarded: ”Master Wildlife Artist.”
