About me
Welcome! If you've found your way here then here's a little about me. I am 32 and a very proud mum to my beautiful little girl and we live in County Durham. As cliche as it sounds, drawing has always been a huge passion of mine ever since I was a child with crayons and I graduated from University College Falmouth in 2012 with a degree in Illustration. I then lived and worked abroad for several years before settling back in the North-East, deciding that the dream was to pursue a career as a full-time, professional artist. I have been drawing animals, people, nature, and all sorts of things ever since!
I currently specialize in portraiture (but not limited to) and predominantly work on pet and family/child commissions, however I have also undertaken other commissions including natural history subjects and wildlife.
​
Pet portraits are definitely one of the most enjoyable parts of my job. The pet portrait area is huge and constantly growing and I have years of experience in this field, expertly creating art to complement any home.
I absolutely love drawing family portraits. I do everything from babies and children to remembrance pieces. More recently, I've branched out into wedding portraits which truly are something special!
My Services
I have developed a very strong visual language over the years and I work in a realistic and highly detailed style in both graphite and colour. I create my colour drawings using professional lightfast pencils - my preferred brands being Faber-Castell Polychromos and Caran d'Ache Luminance - as these allow me to obtain the level of realism I love. I also use top-quality acid-free paper so your artwork will last a lifetime!
​
With portrait commissions, I like to work closely with my clients, taking the time to discuss the subject/subjects and compositions. I aim for 100% customer satisfaction and never ship a portrait unless both client and I are completely happy.
I use photographs to draw from and usually ask for more than one so that I’m able to capture the character of the subject. As an optional extra, I can offer a framing service so that your portrait is ready to hang upon receiving. Each frame is custom-made to fit the exact measurements of your portrait.
I accept commissions from all over the world! I ensure excellent protective packaging to prevent any damage during transit and a full tracking service.
