Nature, especially trees, have always spoken to me. I began to draw when my daughter was born and over the last two decades with the encouragement from friends, family and colleagues, I have taken lessons and continued to practice my pencil drawing.

While I am a scientist, both at heart and by training, during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lock-down periods, when the isolation and loneliness sunk in, I picked up my pencils again, with new passion and purpose, completed my first collection.

The set here was drawn from photographs taken during my travels in Australia, New Zealand and the United States.
