Whilst working on the coast interpreting marine cycles and metamorphoses, I am influenced by the intricate relationships between the geography and geology of an area alongside the biology of the flora and fauna occurring within it. The science of natural history and especially marine biology, to me, has become inextricably linked with its artistic portrayal - a perceived dichotomy that can be bridged by an interest in the lifecycles of species coupled with an admiration of their form. To quote the broad-minded meteorologist L.C.W. Bonacina:
"Science is the art of studying natural phenomena: art is the science of giving expression to the creations of our minds."
