Hello
I am a self taught artist specialising in pastel drawn pet portraits based in Buckinghamshire.
I also create acrylic canvas pieces as well as watercolour illustrations and house portraits. This creates a balance for both my clients and l to continue to add to my more creative collection.
​
The clients reaction to my drawings is what gives the greatest sense of accomplishment, giving them a bespoke artwork they can treasure is a great feeling for us both.
I hope you enjoy my art as much as I enjoy making it.
My Story
I am proudly a wife and mother of two children and I was diagnosed with Epilepsy in 2016.
During a difficult time in my life I used art as a way of escaping to my creative side as I was limited to getting out and finding 'me time'. I fell in love with the mindful process and taught myself to draw with graphite pencils.
I progressed onto pastels, then watercolour and acrylic which turned illustration techniques into realism.
I made the first step of showing publicly my work on social media and sold my first commission of a pet portrait in pencil in November 2020. This gave me the confidence to turn my hobby into selling my own work and therefore take on regular commissions.
​
I continue to vary my work and techniques and believe art is something to always learn from. Reflecting my personality, I combine my love of colour, animals and creativity.
I have raised money for 'epilepsy action' by selling my art in the annual fundraising auction, a charity who continue to help me and importantly spread awareness of the chronic condition.
​​
Turning a negative into a positive, my ongoing situation has enabled me to sell my art in exhibitions, stores, create tutorials in schools, logos, sold locally to as far as Canada.
