Animal and Pet Portrait artist, working in graphite pencil to create original artwork

I am a graphite pencil artist offering original drawings, prints, greeting cards and other gift items all supporting the image of the animals that you know and love.

I am a true lover of all creatures great and small, and everything about them sparks my interest and inspires me. Whether this is the texture of their fur, feathers or scales, to the way they move or interact with the environment around them. I love that each animal has its own unique personality from a cheeky Terrier, to the sweet and gentle nature of a Shire horse. I work hard to capture this within my work, and love that my drawings celebrate their uniqueness.

The best thing about being an animal and pet portrait artist is not only do get the opportunity to see so many beautiful pets, but I also get to hear some amazing stories. I learn all about the love, and companionship these amazing animals bring to their owners. Each new portrait comes with a new tail (No pun intended). I also get a chance to study wild animals, and like to create drawings that give people the opportunity to see them through my eyes.
