I graduated from Loughbourough University of Art & Design with a B.A Honours Degree in Textile Design & Art History. Since then I have styled & designed fabric & wallcovering ranges for Harlequin Fabrics & for several years I have worked in a freelance capacity for numerous companies including Next, Harlequin & Nina Campbell.
Life in mid Wales has inspired me to diversify to animal portraits.
I work to commission in watercolour & pastel medium from clear photographs.

The beauty of my work is fine detail combined with a true representation of the subjects character & expression.
My Work can only be as detailed as the photographs from which I work.
Several photographs of the subject are beneficial as this helps me to capture the personality and a more three dimensional impression.
The following two examples are an indication of what I achieve from the clear and detailed photographs.
