Love of nature in the blood
My grandfather was an entomologist,
My Nan was an avid bird watcher, my Dad and my Mum ran a native landscaping business, and a few other relatives were also into conservation and National Parks. So it’s kind of been in the blood.
But in particular I grew up bushwalking, looking for insects with my grandfather, looking at birds, marsupials, frogs, everything, and that's part of the journey.
I'm also an artist, so I actually enjoy drawing native animals and in particular birds, and I actually spent a lot of my time while working, taking advantage of some of the work I've done in Tasmania and in New South Wales to follow a lot of threatened species and threatened birds, photograph and paint them, so that's kind of where I've come from.
It's a lot of different angles, but I'm very passionate about birds in particular.
