About Me

I'm a pet portrait artist based in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales in the UK. I live with my husband, son and gorgeous westie Tilly, not far from Skipton.

I primarily work in coloured pencils and pastels, but also love to paint in acrylics and try out new mediums and techniques.

Having studied art at university, I've always had a passion for art and rediscovered my love of drawing during lockdown when I decided to draw a portrait of my beautiful westie, Suki, who heartbreakingly crossed the rainbow bridge in 2020. After then being asked to complete portraits by friends and family, I finally decided to offer commissions and haven't looked back since!

I absolutely adore animals and am passionate about producing detailed portraits that really capture the spirit of each animal I paint. It's always an honour to be asked to immortalise someone's treasured friend and create lasting memories for people to cherish.
