Visual Storytelling
I love storytelling and being taken on a small journey of discovery; we have been storytellers since the dawn of our time on earth, when we would sit around the night fire sharing tales of the land and the animals and a complex mythology threading its way to distant stars. It was a way of connecting with the spirit of place and time, of grounding oneself in the essence of life itself.
Through my visual displays, I weave descriptive, thought-provoking narratives with compelling imagery to share stories of the earth, ecology, and the animals that live beside us.
Project innovation, interpretative displays, book design and editing, ecotherapy, urban wildlife projects, and public talks.

Interpretative signage
A nature experience is often enhanced by sensitive and visually inspiring signage, enabling the visitor to deepen their engagement and experience of the living world around them.
Each of my signboards, trail, or nature displays consists of the following components -
​
-
Information on ecology and natural history
-
Script writing and poetic narrative
-
Photographs
-
Design and layout
-
Overseeing production and/or installation
