I am a pet portrait and wildlife artist living in the UK, in the beautiful county of Norfolk. I’ve always loved animals and had a passion for drawing, so making beautiful artwork of people’s pets is a dream come true! While I have been creating pet portraits for many years, after finishing my A-levels two years ago I was able to go full time as an artist. It’s an exciting but challenging step to take! You can follow along with me on my journey as a pet portrait artist via my blog, or you can subscribe below to my newsletter which will give you updates delivered straight to your inbox. You’ll also find some answers to common questions I get asked on my FAQ page. You might also want to check out what my clients are saying about my work on my reviews page or head straight over to my home page.

My Materials

I use the best quality artists’ materials which means your pet portrait or animal artwork will stay looking great for a very long time. I use a combination of Faber-Castell Polychromos and Caran d’Ache Luminance coloured pencils on Pastelmat paper which is acid free and lightfast. I aim to create highly realistic drawings which not only capture the character and true likeness of your much-loved pet, but also express something of the warmth and affection that we have for them. Check out my FAQ page for more information on my art materials. If you want to get money off on art products and support my business at the same time check out my affiliate page.

Wildlife Award

As well as pets, I enjoy drawing wildlife and was thrilled to be awarded the 2020 RSPB Richie Richardson Award for the most accurately drawn animal. My award-winning little mouse was then displayed in the Mall Galleries in London!
