If you'd like to buy a drawing of a particular species from me, but you don't see it in my shop, please ask if I have it.

so there's always a chance I might have exactly what you need :)

A big congratulations to everyone involved in bringing the Meath Biodiversity Action Plan 2025–2030 to life – officially launched today.
After months of hard work, it’s wonderful to finally see it out in the world and ready to be read. I was delighted to contribute through my wildlife illustrations and design, and to play a small part in such an important project.
Best of luck to Ben Malone and the team with turning these…
I'm thrilled to finally share something very special with you – a new book that’s been quietly taking shape behind the scenes: Encounters with Corvids, written by the brilliant Dr Fionn Ó Marcaigh and illustrated and designed by yours truly.
This has been one of the most enjoyable and…

It rarely stays still for long, giving the impression that it's always in a hurry.
Despite its name, the Grey…
In a world fascinated by the biggest, tallest and most impressive creatures, it is easy to forget that some of nature's greatest wonders are the ones we almost never notice. Sometimes they are hidden beneath fallen leaves, moving quietly through the grass, or disappearing into the undergrowth before we even realise they were there.
The pygmy shrew (Sorex minutus) is a perfect example. Ireland's smallest mammal may be tiny, but it certainly makes up…
Are you the parent of a budding artist who loves animals and the natural world?
I can help you create a truly memorable birthday celebration where children can explore their creativity, learn about wildlife and have fun making their own artwork, all in the comfort of your home.
During my Wildlife Art Birthday Parties, I combine my two passions: art and nature.…
Some of the most important animals on Earth are the ones we can easily overlook: a bee landing on a flower, a hoverfly resting on a leaf, a moth appearing briefly at dusk. These small creatures support the ecosystems around us, and without them, the natural world would look very different.
