Another portrait for a dear friend who loved his beloved cat recently, this is Fudge. I adored bringing out all my soft yellows and oranges for her coat, and she made it to the incredible age of 19! As saddening as drawing memorial portraits is, I feel incredibly honoured to be able to gift a small piece of Fudge back to her family ❤

06/08/2024

Making headway with something a little different this week! Definitely sparked a few conversations at my Ely Market on Saturday! A commission for a wonderful friend, her challenge is that I'm only allowed to use blue and pink pencils - what do you think so far? ❤

03/08/2024

Back again at Ely Market today! It's going to be a great day so come around and say hello if you're about! I'd love to see you! Here til 3:30pm!

Regis the Red Squirrel is still looking for his forever home ❤ Photographic reference by the wonderful Paul Williams. The original drawing currently resides in my home studio in a classic raw oak frame, and of course makes regular appearances at my markets, too! Pop by in Ely this weekend if you'd love to see him first-hand!

Sale of this piece will see a portion donated to Rewilding Europe. Pop me a message if you're interested!

50 x 70cm sheets of wrapping paper featuring Regis the Red Squirrel! Popular at markets, I'm making up a new display box to show off this woodland-themed paper for this weekend's market in Ely. Last time, a lovely lad asked if he could buy my display box as a gift for his parents, because it was wrapped so beautifully! 😁 Perhaps this is why I'm often volunteered for gift wrapping at Christmas 😂

My gorgeous boy Todd has been added to my greeting card collection on my online shop 🥰 I make all my cards at home to order, so are always readily available on my etsy store!

If you've had a portrait from me in the past, did you know you can request greeting cards with your custom portrait on? Pop me a message!

Keeler's portrait is all ready to be framed and heading on his merry way to his new home this week! I've had a wonderful time drawing his soppy, lovely face and can't wait for him to arrive with his owner. More labs please - I'm in love! ❤

20/07/2024

The last time I was at Ely Market, I was finishing off my adorable grizzly brown bear, all wrapped up in my dryrobe in the winds!

If you're a fan of the collie collection and forever have life admin to plan, these collie notepads are perfect for scribbling down all your ideas and plans and memos!

If I did this with all of my greeting cards at home, I'd not have any wall space left 😅 Did you know that if you buy a greeting card from me you can also buy a frame that fits it perfectly... so you can admire the artwork for years to come!?

https://www.acillustration.co.uk/shop/p/greeting-card-frame

17/07/2024

Which frame would you choose? 🤔 I have a drawer FULL of frame samples from my lovely local framer, and these often get strewn all over the place when a portrait is complete and I'm rummaging for some of the best fits!

16/07/2024

His name is... BENTLEY! Bentley the Brown Bear! (Thanks Mum 😉) And his original drawing is now available for sale - message me for details!
This fuzzy grizzly will be featuring in my winter collection later this year (since I didn't finish him in time ot make it for last year 😅) but for now he's available in greeting card form on my website and etsy! Enjoy!!

Throwback to Ralph's portrait! This little feela has done so so well as greeting cards in my online shop - clearly everyone else thinks he's as handosme as I do!! Would you send a card to someone with your dog's face on? I know I would!

You can find Ralph's cards here:

Possibly more labradors on my drawing board this summer than I've had all year!! 😍 This is Keeler! A very soppy choccy labby with the most gorgeous puppy-dog eyes. The photograph we decided on for the reference had so many hidden colours in it - can you spot the pinks, purples and blues??

13/07/2024

Anyone else try to align starting new projects with the start of the week? No? Just me? 😂 This is the very beginnings of Kola's portrait! Also from the dog Obedience world, this very smilie collie brightened up my drawing board for hours!

12/07/2024

Kimber and Bryston ❤❤
Are you a vanilla or chocolate fan?? 🍦🍫 Part of a 2-piece commission, these two gorgeous labradors were fitted in the same frame to hang together in the home of their beloved family. I absolutely love to create portraits as part of a set and see them framed side-by-side!

11/07/2024

Coco Chanel ❤
It goes without saying that having dogs in our lives means that our photo gallery is completely full with photos of our beloved little dogs, right?? This is true for me of any dog I meet - so the reference photo I worked from for Coco's portrait was my own as she had such a huge presence in my life and particularly the life of my family - I had so many photos to choose from!!

10/07/2024

Something a little different... I was asked to create a piece by my wonderful friend of her two cats - Bean and Olive! But instead of opting for the traditional colours of her tabbies, the entire portrait will be drawn in blue and pink! 💙🩷

Who's excited to see how this one will come out?? I certainly am - it'll be a challenge that I'm definitely up for to accurately portray all the feline-features but in only blue and pink!

09/07/2024

The WINNER of my latest raffle requested a portrait of her beloved friend's dog, to put a smile on her face during some difficult times. Sadly, the wonderful lady also had to say goodbye to her beloved Kodi just as the portrait was finishing. Such an emotional journey, but I'm really pleased to know that my raffle helped someone going through a rough time ❤

Therapeutic or a wirey-haired nightmare? 🤔 Lots of artists find wire-coats like these frustrating to work with, I have to admit they have their challenges! But for me, I love the enforced patience I have to apply to get all of the flyaways in the correct place. There’s something really soothing about the slow-pace and intense concentration 🥰 #familypet #familypets #jackrussell #jackrussellterrier #jackrussellsofinstagram #jackrusselllove #jackrussellfeatures #jackrussells #jackrussellsofig #jackrusselllovers #jackrusselllife #terriers #terriersofinstagram

Here’s… Jimmy! Demonstrating the purrfect way to relax in the sunshine ☀️ According to his owner, he was always sleeping … 😴 So it felt right for the portrait to be of him having a lovely snooze. Originally, he came all the way from Cyprus and travelled just about everywhere with his beloved owner before reaching the wonderful age of 14. #catdrawing #catdrawings #catportrait #catportraits #catportraitartist #catartist #catartwork #catartists #familypet #familypets #cat #cats #kitty #kittycat #feline #catart #petportraiture #petportraitartist #petartwork #petportrait #petportraitcommission #petportraits #petportraitartist #artismycareer #supportsmallbusiness #smallbusinessowner Music: LiQWYD

TB to ‘750,000’ 🦓 Finding the time for my wildlife pieces is hard around my current commission-filled schedule, but this piece, now safety packed away before our move to our new home, is a reminder to keep up the determination to complete them. This wildlife drawing is still one of my favourites to date, I have exciting plans for him in the months to come, keep an eye out for my announcements 👀 #zebra #zebraprint #zebras #zebraart #zebradrawing #africanwildlifefoundation #artforconservation #conservationart #cambridgecreatives #stneots #cambridgeshire #cambridge #wildlifeartist #animalartworks #animalartist #animalartwork #animalart #wildlife #animal #animals #colourpencilartists #colourpencilart #colouredpencilart #colouredpencilartist #colourpencildrawing
