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.
