POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I’m busy setting up my new studio, so sharing some photos from 3 years ago when I was working in South Africa for @invicta_wf ✨

This shot of a lone wildebeest sauntering through the savannah layer formed the reference photo for my art piece “The Lone Ranger” (pic 5)!

Also, Alicia has a regular posting schedule for 3 days?! Who is she?! It’s almost like someone told her to post more of her photos ✨

Cape Starling

Been editing photos from some photography & film work I did for @invicta_wf a few years ago, and wanted to do some more creative & artistic edits!!

The cape starling is such a stunning species, with a bright red/orange eye!! I’ve been wanting to play with this concept of black-and-white with one pop of colour for ages, and this felt like the perfect first subject for this!!

working as a videographer ! 📸

being a multidisciplinary artist means I work across lots of different disciplines - including camera work!

However I have tendency to not post so much about my film, editing, and photography work on here - so in an effort to change that, here’s a lil intro carousel! Featuring some BTS from the last couple of years !

Kit: @lumix S5, @gitzoinspires tripod. Variety of macro & long lenses (DM for any specifics!)

How would you like to come and help contribute towards conservation?

This October I’m running a trip with @invicta_wf in South Africa where you’ll get the chance to work with conservation monitors and help track endangered species.
Any profits from the trip will go directly towards conservation in the field, where it matters!

What was it like volunteering with Wildlife act for two weeks in South Africa?

Honestly? I can’t recommend it enough. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. I see things differently now. While everyone is doing their commute to work, a wildlife act monitor has already been up 4 hours tracking priority species. African wild dogs hunt twice a day as the sun rises and as it sets so each morning you have to be up and out before the suns come up to find them.

Why do species need to be monitored?

It’s essential for keeping track of animal movement patterns, habitat utilisation, population demographics, snaring and poaching incidents and breakouts. If the dogs move too close to boundary fencing, it’s a real issue as any breakouts could involve human animal conflict, one of the main reasons why so many species are endangered.

What really held home for me was the all systems go effort that occurred when there was a report of one animal being badly wounded. Planes in the air, all eyes in the vehicles looking and that was just for one animal, one single animal, because every life matters. There were times tears would be streaming from my eyes just from the shear dedication of the rangers and monitors who give up their entire lives to protect wildlife.

I’ll be talking about the experience more and also holding some fundraisers so if you’re an artist and would like to get involved please dm me!

I’ll also be running more trips to South Africa with Wildlife act and Invicta so if you’d like to experience this please get in touch.

Did you know that African Wild Dogs have a hunting success rate of around 75%, making them among the most effective predators in Africa?

By regularly moving prey through the landscape, they prevent localised overgrazing and support vegetation recovery across large areas.

Sadly, African Wild Dogs remain Africa’s second most endangered predator. Fewer than 6,600 individuals remain across Africa with fewer than 650 remaining in the wild in South Africa.

Today, on International Day for Biological Diversity, we’re reminded that protecting a single species means protecting the health of an entire ecosystem.

Wildlife ACT monitors every African Wild Dog pack in KwaZulu-Natal, 365 days a year. Watch the video below to learn more.

Today is #worldelephantday !!! I couldn't let it pass without re-sharing these beauties!

"A Long Road Home" has sold to a really lovely collector with huge thanks to the incredible @artworks2celf gallery. With the payment plan now complete, these lovelies are currently at the framers, getting their finishing touch!!!!

I'm SO excited to see this framed up.... but I'm equally going to really miss having these on display in my studio!

I'm incredibly proud to say that a whopping £2000 of this sale now heads to @tsavotrust (via their UK partner Tusk Trust).

Tsavo Trust are one of the partners of @invicta_wf (the folk who run the @africawildlifeart online gallery) and work on the ground, securing the Tsavo Conservation Area in Kenya through anti-poaching security measures and more.

Due to this sale going through a local gallery, the donation process has been somewhat more complex to figure out - with AWA no longer being based in the UK).

Still, it feels absolutely amazing to still be able to donate such an awesome amount to Tsavo Trust, knowing that the hard work and 6 months of painting that went into this piece, is going to help protect our wonderful Elephants!

Not only is this my largest sale to date, it's also my largest contribution to protecting species in decline, so I'm pretty blown away still! 🥹🥰🐘

Happy National endangered species Day!

Great time to take a step back and remember those species that need our help and support to survive and the amazing people working tirelessly to support these species.

It’s #internationalwomeninscienceday 👩‍🔬

I absolutely love working as a creative conservationist and wildlife artivist, but my background is in biology - and I find this really helps me when researching and understanding the things I’m illustrating, filming, or writing about.

As a child, I always wanted to study biology - but I also wanted to do art. It brings me so much joy that I can interweave these two disciplines together; and I hope it shows others that they can too! 🥰

Here are a few lil pics which show the more science-y side of my existence… from my degree at @oxford_uni & ecological fieldwork, to presenting about creative conservation at @gybn_cbd !
