I have taken hundreds of photos during my time at The Acres. I generally don't work from photographs but I found that drawing animals is best achieved using still images. I spent many hours in cold parks in the UK when I was a student drawing animals and birds. I appear to have become wiser and now produce animal and bird images from photos.
I made a huge body of work when I lived in Bermuda of fish, birds and animals realised as 10cm square linocuts. I have loved revisiting this format, although this time all the images are based on the animals of The Acres and not the whimsey of my Bermuda series.
