Local artist specialising in animal paintings and portraits I have always loved painting and especially love painting animals.

I am an animal lover myself and knowing how beloved people's pets are to them I try and paint every subject with love myself, especially trying to capture their unique personalities. They are all wonderful and it really is a privilege to paint every commission.

I've been experimenting with videoing content (and I'm not very good at it! 😆)
So please forgive this first attempt....hopefully they'll get better 🤞😊
This is a very quick pen and wash dormouse 🐁

I just wanted to take a moment to remember little Pippa today.
Her family had to make the worst decision this morning and had to have her put to sleep, which was so hard, but the right and kindest thing to do.

Pippa was my very first portrait. I just thought she was so sweet and asked my friend if I could have a go at painting her...she got me on this path of taking commissions and painting people's pets, so she holds a special place in my heart.

She had a wonderful life with the best people and will be so missed 🥺 ❤️

I thought I'd share my newest Kingfisher 🤗
I really love these beautiful birds and enjoyed this so much.
Its a pen and wash, I started with a light pencil drawing then drew it properly with a fine liner, then painted over the top....I love this method and will be painting more this way 😄

Happy Friday everyone! ❤️

So this was a big change for me!

A lady asked me to paint a bold-ish floral design on her small kitchen table.
It is made of mdf, which I primed, then painted on the design I came up with, with instructions of the colours and tweaks from my client, then I painted it using acrylic paint. She then finished it with a sheet of acrylic on top.
She was so happy with the result and so was I, especially given it was a first for me! I'm definitely hoping to do more like this if possible 🤗

I've got my Leaping Hares all framed up and ready for the Barnes fair in London on Saturday....I feel so lucky to have a table at such a fantastic event and I'm so excited 🤗

So I wondered if could ask you all a question please? 🙏🙂

I painted this nursery picture for my niece as a gift after the birth of my beautiful great niece.

I used to do more of them a few years ago, for christening gifts, naming ceremonys etc. I could put any wording you liked and use almost any characters (depending on the copyright law)
Would this be something you think people may want? Something a bit different for a gift after the birth of a baby?
I would genuinely love any honest feedback....thanks so much in advance ☺️ ###

So this is a commission I painted a little while ago but couldn't share for a while...safe now ☺️
The gorgeous Seamus ❤️

My husband took a photo of a stunning (but bad tempered 😆) parrot on holiday recently and I had to have a go at painting him, it was a lovely change 😊

09/06/2024

So these came up on my memories today! My very first pet portraits, Alfie and Pippa....9 years ago! 😱

Who knew how many wonderful pets I'd get to paint since, it's such a joy, I hope I get to keep painting them for many years to come ❤️

07/06/2024

Looking forward to this and hoping for some sun 😃🤞

04/06/2024

What a sweet, sweet girl
This is Chloe and she recently passed away at a great age and after a wonderful life with her loving people....devastating for them of course 😢
I really loved drawing her and trying to capture that soulful look ❤️

01/06/2024

A busy day preparing for the Knutsford Makers Market tomorrow....really looking forward to it 🤗

A lovely bank holiday spent drawing this lovely fella....Hares are always wonderful subjects, I hope everyone's bank holiday (memorial day) has been great 🤗

22/05/2024

I recently did a painting for Zara McDermott of her beloved cats (my American followers won't have heard of her probably, but she's doing very well over here)
She put this story on her Instagram yesterday (about her boyfriend's sister who was telling her incredible story)....and look what I spied in the corner 🤓😁

20/05/2024

I painted this gorgeous collie quickly, as a fun exercise to get in the swing for my next commission after being away for a week....what a fabulous breed, always full of joy 🥰

13/05/2024

Back from a lovely break away with my husband, now it's back to the drawing board....literally! 😄

This was a little card I painted for my niece's baby shower (due any day!)
Thanks to the wonderful Beatrix Potter 😊❤️👼

So I have to confess, after posting my bird of prey I messed it up! I shaded the background and the bird completely disappeared 🤦‍♀️
So after a brilliant idea from my lovely sister I cut him out with a very sharp craft knife and put him on a different background....I think it's rescued 🤞😄

27/04/2024

I had a really lovely day last week at Hoo Zoo meeting other members of the Association of Animal Artists. So nice to meet fellow animal artists who were so kind and friendly and take photos of the incredible animals there...wonderful subjects I can't wait to paint 😊❤️

24/04/2024

A bit of therapeutic pencil drawing of this magnificent bird of prey 😊
Happy hump day everyone 😄 x

Here is the finished piece from my last post....this is Small Cat, which has to be the sweetest name for a cat ever!
I absolutely loved painting her ❤️🥰😊
