As an animal lover and owner, I have endlessly drawn animals from as early as I can remember. I studied anatomy by borrowing and drawing skulls from the local museum. I won my first national competition at the age of 10 and had a major exhibition. I'm a self taught pastel artist specialising in hyperrealistic animal portraits. I accept commissions and ship safely worldwide. Please ask for details.

Rough Collies are my passion though I love all breeds of dogs and enjoy seeing them in the shows. I'm mostly asked to draw dogs, horses and cats but am happy to draw all kinds of animals. More unusual requests include a very large scale budgie, making a wet dog dry and a dog in sunglasses! I'm always willing to accept a new challenge.

I have been influenced by the animal work of George Stubbs and his anatomy work particularly with horses. I've been painting animals on commission for about 25 years and have had orders from numerous people around the world, including large companies and have been featured on TV. I support my local animal shelter by gifting a pet portrait as a prize. I occasionally run art workshops to help share the skills I've learnt in pastels.

I currently live in beautiful Devon.
