(born 3 March 1960)

After becoming established as a self taught artist specialising in reconstructing extinct species, I undertook a degree in bird palaeontology at the University of Portsmouth, followed by a PhD at the Natural History Museum, London. This provided an opportunity to not only excavate extinct species and scientifically describe them, but also to artistically reconstruct them from their fossil remains. This culminated in my first book in 2008 and my aim of merging two disciplines, the arts and the sciences. I have also been successful on numerous occasions in obtaining large grant applications, including field trips to the Mascarenes Islands (Reunion, Mauritius, Rodrigues), Seychelles, Comoros, South Africa, Indonesia and the Hawaiian Islands, as well as consultation services and presenting for the BBC/Channel 4/ Discovery channels. I am presently working on my second book project entitled ‘Extinct & Hypothetical Birds’ due 2011.
