Celebrating the beauty of the things that I see. I work in pastel, coloured pencil, ink, watercolour or a mixture of media to draw pets, people and other living things. I draw to explore & document the world around me. I love the simple act of making a mark and the challenge of capturing the essence of living things. I take commissions for portraits of pets, people, houses and cars, either on their own or posed together. Unlike many artists, I am happy to work from less than perfect photos if that is all you have available. The more detail you send me the more I can put into your picture but I can achieve a likeness drawn from multiple sources.
