I work in watercolour/acrylic paint or pen to create pet portraits amongst other art work

I am a qualified graphic designer who enjoys doing pet portraits using watercolour/acrylic paint or pen. But I also paint many other things which I am inspired by.

I thoroughly enjoy doing commissioned work, as it is exciting being given something new to create and even better when the client receives that work.

Even though I am a qualified graphic designer, I never got the chance to utilise these skills, but I do sometimes create graphic images if requested.I have enjoyed art from a young age and have won competitions when I was at primary and secondary school. My intention was to go to art college but instead I ended up doing secretarial training.

So I have returned back to the one thing that I always enjoyed.
