The rugged, ancient landscape of Canton Valais is home to a variety of exquisite, endangered butterflies that draws lepidopterists from around the world. Instead, I was standing in the middle of a sunny mountain meadow with an insect net and a pocketful of glass tubes. Depending where I was in this bilingual canton, I was chasing either schmetterlinge or papillon. In other words: I was here for the butterflies. It also is an area where a single mountain might be home to several different habitats — a rare find in the butterfly world. This ancient cultural and linguistic equator cuts through the Naturpark Pfyn-Finges , a thickly wooded, foreboding steppe habitat that doubles as a natural border, attracting several types of butterfly, not to mention large lizards, African bird species such as the vibrant bee-eater and other creatures not typically associated with Alpine fauna. Luckily, as in the case of many natural history field studies, the Latin names are used for clarity. The vineyard town of Salgesch, one of the last German-speaking villages before the French side begins, was an especially picturesque place to start my butterfly excursion. Dirt trails wound through the steep terraced vineyards planted with golden chasselas and Johannisberg grapes. Learning to identify butterflies requires some understanding of the flowering plants they frequent: when you look for a particular species, you often head for the plant with which it is associated. A pink spray of larkspur across the road held a gossamer Apollo butterfly with signature red-eye wing marks. I also encountered a variety of moths with intricate patterns so nuanced that even experts struggle to categorise them. There are species of butterflies in Switzerland — and tens of thousands of moth species, many of them diurnal. After a day of butterflying, I headed for dinner. It hosts regular meet-ups, lectures and hikes dedicated to insects, birds and wildflowers, and can arrange lepidopterist guides to accompany butterfly-seekers. Butterflying here is not new. Vladimir Nabakov was one such papillon pilgrim. But through the cooperation of local farmers, vineyard owners and conservationists, Valais is becoming a sanctuary for these highly endangered insects. And visitors are encouraged to participate: Pro Natura and Butterfly Conservation Switzerland have developed programmes to plant butterfly-friendly flowers at public schools and parks. Like most modern butterfly hikes, our excursion involved catch-and-release identifying: we temporarily encapsulated the unharmed butterflies in specimen tubes, identified them and released them 10 or 15 minutes later. At the end of our four-hour hike, Remo pounced into a dense roadside thicket to catch a scarce swallowtail, a butterfly noted for its brilliant blue and gold tail whose design mimics the head of a distasteful insect to ward off predators. Valais may be known for its massive mountains and glaciers. However, the valleys are more affordable, and often convenient, bases for butterfly exploring.

About Paintings

I love my paintings. I have been a professional photographer and artist for much of my life, traveling the world with my camera and canvas. The camera captures the logical layout of the scene, but the paintings can capture much more. They can capture the mood and feelings of the scene far more. Using bold colours and plenty of light in the paintings I love to capture the scenes from around the world which have brought the most joy to me and you. Skiing, sailing and surfing, the ocean and the beach are my favourite themes and I love to paint them over and over again. Every time I paint, it is like I am transported back into my favourite places in the world and not just the place but that very special moment in time where I felt that wonderful happiness and joy from that particular trip. It is this focus on the joy and fun of these special places we love to visit that makes these paintings so unique and special. Take a look through some of the paintings and see if you can pick up on the special feelings that these paintings are imbued with. My work is heavily inspired and influenced from my travels worldwide. If I can capture on canvas just a scent of the ecstasy experienced traveling, I will feel I have done my job. That wonderful atmosphere, free of responsibility, routine, work and connection. Life, simplified and rarefied, I feel like I can touch heaven. During these trips I have a wonderful experience of inner joy, which I hope the bold pure colours can relay to the viewer. They capture the excitement, flow and atmosphere present in my scene, so illusive to the photograph. One of my favourite scenes are the ocean and most loved of all, sunsets over the ocean. The beach where land meets sea is a very special place and this place imbued with the all pervading light of the sun meeting the sea makes for a truly magical scene which captures what we all love. The wonderful fusion of waves of motion and solid ground creates an irresistible subject, movement contrasting stability at the shore line. The human reaction to this point on the beach of life is an alluring challenge and when lit by the magical spectrum of sunsets is truly irresistible. Bold vibrant layers of colour help to capture the energy and atmosphere of the ocean alive sparkling with the dancing light of the sun. They have quite an impact, when you first see them. They add an atmosphere of light and joy to any room. I hope my sense of joy is imbued in the paintings I have created for you to enjoy. The image is worked up from an under painting then sometimes a hint of glaze of vibrant oil hues finished with soft buttery textured oil paints, contrasting and complementing side by side. Lines long and thin, short and fat, laid thick and thin, bright and dark, seen together combine to form a bold powerful image. How I love to add the life of colour to my paintings, it gives me a real tangible joy. I only hope that I can convey this sense of love I have of the colours, to you through my paintings. Earth colours can be noticeably absent. The vibrant strong colours patched onto the painting lift my spirit and enrapture my soul forming an escape from daily life. In tandem with my ocean paintings and my love of surfing, I have a great affinity for the snow and ski resorts of the Alps and North America. I like to think of the mountains in winter as a frozen ocean of droplets. In fresh powder, my favourite it moves and flows round you like the ocean. With my deep passion for skiing and snowboarding my skiing and snowboarding paintings are fast becoming my main focus and very popular gracing the walls of many exclusive Chalets and Hotels in the Alps. For years I avoided painting these mountain scenes as I could not get all the exciting energy into the paintings with so much white and pale blues in the scenes. But now I have captured in the paintings what I felt snowboarding and skiing in the Alpine mountain resorts of Europe. These mountains, high in the sky, where frozen oceans accumulates on the pinnacle of the earth where the land meets sky is an electric place to exist. I hope for you I have just captured a glimpse ,a memory of these special high mountains. See more on the ski paintings.
