About
Art was my favorite subject and hobby as I grew up, I enjoyed all kinds of art but I particularly liked sketching and capturing a likeness for something on paper. I pursued art through college and i went on to study an Art & Design Foundation Course. I had a brief spell in graphic design, and I considered working with animals in some way, but I finally settled in a job working within the embroidery industry. The job often required an artistic flair, and creating animals in embroidery became my favorite task!
My love of art and animals came together.
After some years I picked up the pencil again, taking inspiration from my love of animals. I became determined to practice and refine my drawing skills, to create beautiful lifelike images, I was soon drawing commissioned pieces and selling my work. Eventually what started out as a hobby became a side business alongside my embroidery job. Due to busy family life my art was always something I just fitted in, but it was consistently my passion and long term goal. In 2020 I was finally able to commit to my art full time. I feel incredibly lucky to have turned my hobby into my profession, and living my dream as an artist.

It was pencil that captured my love of art, but more recently I ventured into the wonderful world of colour. I like to experiment with different media and styles alongside my pencil work, I enjoy using watercolour & pastels. This keeps my work fresh and keeps me excited about the art I create. I never stop learning and I always enjoy discovering new ways to make beautiful art.

As well as drawing & painting, I love taking photo’s, especially when walking in the countryside, enjoying the beauty of nature.
