Biography
I’m a self-taught Pet Portrait and Wildlife Artist working in watercolour, pastels and coloured pencils who strives to reproduce realism in my work that makes you feel like you could reach out and touch the fur. Pet portraits are drawn with highly pigmented lightfast pencils and usually drawn on quality drafting film, alternatively on archival acid free paper ensuring you have a quality portrait that you can cherish for years to come. You can view my portfolio via my website, where you can also purchase original artwork, prints and greeting cards.
My inspiration derives from the natural wildlife surrounding the Hertfordshire countryside. I’ve had a love for vibrant colours from a very young age and use this within my drawings. I love creating pet portraits and wildlife drawings. I particularly love capturing the eyes as they are the sole of the animal. I create every day and am constantly learning new techniques.
After being medically retired at a young age, I was determined not to let my MS diagnosis hold me back in life and rekindled her love of art. Based in Hertfordshire I’ve built a network of likeminded artists and art lovers to share my passion with and to support my own mental health. I also run a weekly Academy on-line and in person and monthly workshops out of my home in Letchworth. I’m passionate about teaching and ensuring what I’ve learned is passed on. It’s lovely to see all of the students creations coming to life.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, looking forward to hearing from you.
