Artist information
I am a professional artist with over 15 years of experience creating custom pet portraits and animal artwork, a passion that has been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Animals have always inspired me—their personalities, expressions, and the deep emotional bonds they share with us—and capturing that unique spirit in my work is what I love most.
I specialise in pastel, oil, and acrylic portraits, carefully selecting the medium that best brings each subject to life. Every piece is created entirely by hand using high-quality professional materials, with great attention to detail and character. My aim is not just to paint a likeness, but to create something meaningful and personal—a piece that truly reflects the soul of the animal.
Alongside commissioned portraits, I also create my own collection of greeting cards and prints, all based on my original artwork. Each design is thoughtfully crafted from my hand-drawn sketches, with the same care and individuality that goes into my portraits.
My work is often inspired by the beauty of everyday moments—playful expressions, quiet companionship, and the simple joy animals bring into our lives. Knowing that my art can capture those moments and hold sentimental value for someone else is what makes this journey so rewarding.
