About My Art

I love animals and I love to paint and draw so naturally the two go together for me. When painting for pleasure I enjoy painting the things I love, when painting a commission I enjoy the prospect of producing a peice of work that will be admired and treasured. There's something special about knowing a peice of your art work is hanging on someones wall being viewed by family and visitors.

Recently I have begun to experiment with pastels and acrylics with very pleasing results. I have also rediscovered pencil and I am amazed that I neglected this medium for so long.

All commissions are completed from photographs which are either supplied to me by the customer or, if travel permits, taken by myself. I love to meet the animals I'm drawing because it allows me to get to know their personality but it is not essential to create a good portrait.

It is important to me that when I paint a picture of someone's pet spaniel, for example, it is instantly recognisable as their dog and not just another picture of that breed. Each animal is individual in personality and looks, no two are the same. Whether I am painting someone's pet or the wildlife in my garden, the challenge to show this is what keeps me passionate about my art.
