Wildlife and Pet Portrait Artist painting in oils

I am a passionate emerging and award winning wildlife artist, capturing the soul and character each animal I paint using exclusively high quality oils and beautiful canvases. The majority of my more recent work I use Linen canvases only.
I aim to help bring out the beauty of the wildlife we have on earth from the tiny harvest mouse to the Amur tiger.

I’ve always been a bit of a creative since a young girl, but my discovery of oils was only when I started some weekly lessons with a local artist when I was a teenager, although I didn’t carry on classes when I started college, I to this day still have a few pieces I created back then. After a 20 year break I found my passion for art come to the fore during Covid lockdown. During this time I struggled with stress and work pressure and needed a way to release this, I realised that creative inside of me had been locked in under 20 years of coping with life’s challenges! 

I love to push myself in improving techniques on each and every painting, to capture the soul of the animal I create on canvas, it feels like connecting to its story and in the case of endangered animals to bring to light their plight of survival. 
Each piece I create has helped me see the beauty in more detail of our day to day lives aswell as the greater nature in this world we live.
