My Story

In 2020, I took the plunge and did something I’d been wanting to do forever - made my passion my career and launched this business as my full time career! I’d been planning this for a while, it just so happened the date I had planned for happened to be in the middle of a pandemic.

My love of art started from a young age, I entered a county primary school collage competition to create the best collage made out of torn up newspaper pages and I won! The prize was a life size cutout of Aladdin (I loved it - my Mother did not!), but in that moment I realised I was a creative person and a love of art was born.

Throughout school I loved (and like to think I excelled) in art, though due to personal circumstances I did not take it through to art school. Instead I spent over a decade working in creative marketing and graphic design roles while drawing and painting as much as I could in my spare time. Friends would ask me to do pet portraits for them and I knew this was something I wanted to pursue full time. After the birth of my second child, I took the plunge and Felicity Franks Portraits was born!
