Song of the Sea
My latest artwork titled 'Song of the Sea' featuring 40 types of animals from our oceans. A young girl named Hope listens to the Song of the Sea from a conch as all the animals emerge, swim and dance around her as she stands on a tip of a Blue whale.
Whaley Christmas
It is a Christmas themed card, with a whale forming like a Christmas tree and other animals swim around it.
Where does snow come from?
If you were wondering where snow comes from.. Look up. It features the whale sharks raining snow from the skies above the rainforest canopy as Lynn (the girl) sits with her friend Draco and Ottie the Otter Civet.

Megophrys nasuta (Malayan Horned Frog) is a common species throughout its range except in Singapore where it is restricted to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. They dazzle people from all over the world because of its uniquely shaped horns. Their tadpoles have a special mouth adaptation that acts like a funnel to filter and feed on pollen, dust and bacteria from the surface.
