Pet Portraits Wildlife Art

Drawing Tutorials

All drawn in soft pastels by hand.

Award for Abby!

I am delighted to announce that my soft pastel portrait of Abby the Cockapoo has been awarded a Special Merit by Art & Color 365 Magazine. Abby is currently featured in their Spring issue for their 2025 Pets Competition.

New prints available.

This original soft pastel wildlife artwork, highlights the bond between mother and cub, showing a moment of tenderness; it focuses on a mother’s love, but also alludes to the fierce protector that she is. In creating this artwork, I hope showing their relationship draws attention to the Sumatran tiger, highlighting how few are left and how breeding is important to survival.
