Designer and Illustrator of Pet Portraits

I started my career illustrating and designing children's books, but my passion for animals and wildlife led me to focus more on pets and being creative with animals.
All animals are unique and I love bringing these individual personalities to life through art.
My pet commissions have included large and small characters.
More recently, my digital portraits of pets & wildlife with various one-of-a-kind backdrops have proven very popular.
I feel very fortunate to have had such a wonderful, imaginative career through my design and artwork.
I am proud to say that I have worked for some high profile individuals with not only illustrations, but also individual pieces of work.
I've had my artwork shown at The Mall Galleries in London for
The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation
Top 100
'The Best of Wildlife Art'.
Since I was a young child, I loved art and I loved my animals and wildlife. I was very fortunate to be able to travel so extensively when I was young, and visited many countries and wildlife in their natural habitat. I also grew up in a family that loved animals,
so our house was always filled with dogs (four of them), cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters and snakes.
Today is no different, and my house is filled with furry love.
