It’s a real joy to create lifelike portraits that are a true representation of a dearly loved pet.  I’ve always loved to draw from a young age and I love animals.  I work in my studio at Forest Lake, Brisbane and I am more than happy for you to visit, my dog Shani will give you a warm welcome.  
 
Soft pastels are my preferred medium to use to create pet portraits as they are ideal for capturing the softness of fur. Along with soft pastels I use pastel pencils for details, such as eyes, working on a high quality Pastelmat surface.  I've recently started working with charcoal for pet portraits, in a more relaxed style but still realistic.  It's a great option for a pet portrait, I love working with charcoal, it's very messy but it can create a beautiful artwork!
 
My background includes tertiary study at Queensland College of Art, designing print media adverts at
​Myer (Qld) and employment in Brisbane and Canberra arts industries.   Art and design have always played
a big part in my life.
 
If you are in Brisbane, drop by Base Art Gallery, Logan Road, Holland Park and see some of my animal artworks... a delightful and friendly small gallery.
