I am honoured to be elected this year as a Member of the Explorers Club!

For the past 30 years my paint brushes and curiosity have led me to travel the earth's 7 continents and bring back impressions and stories of encounters with amazing creatures such as emperor penguins in Antarctica and grizzly bears in Kamchatka.

Exploring new vistas is important to shake up old habits and world views. One thing that I have learned during my adventures is that what’s most important is not how many places we see but it is the quality of the “seeing”. I love to find a new place and then spend time with it, merge with every changing angle of light, shade and colour.

I look forward to promote the Explorer club's mission to inspire exploration, respect and protection of wild places, from our backwoods to our oceans, mountain peaks and distant galaxies - while sustaining a spirit of fellowship among explorers and the scientific community.
