Avril Parkes

Animal art and pet portraits created with pastels and a touch of whimsy.

I am an artist with a passion for animals and colour. I have always believed that all animals have personalities, and some have a sense of humour. My art tries to capture that, and represent their characters.

I work mostly with pastels and coloured pencils, but I am always exploring all sorts of other media. Both prints and framed originals are available, as well as printed gifts such as bags, cushions, mugs, coasters, etc.
