In all my paintings and drawings I strive to recreate the pet in which I am portraying, in both detail and the individual personality of each animal. My work always has a ‘drawn’ quality to it, as I am not simply aiming to copy a photograph precisely but rather to create an individual portrayal of a beloved pet that is wholly unique.
Apart from commission work I take a huge amount of pleasure in both painting and drawing wildlife, especially that of big Cats. A lot of my recent wildlife painting was actually created whilst I studied for my BA Hons degree in Fine Art at Reading University, for which I obtained a first class which I was immensely overjoyed ( and surprised!) with. |
