Artist statement: As an artist, the natural world has always been my greatest source of inspiration. I feel greatly privileged to be currently studying the unique Bachelor of Natural History Illustration degree offered by the University of Newcastle. When Reclaim Kosci asked for volunteers to use their artistic skills to represent some of Kosciuszko National Park’s magnificent threatened species, I jumped at the opportunity. I believe it is our generation’s duty to ensure that the destruction caused by feral horses STOPS NOW.
