Award winning English artist living in Spain
Specialising in Animal and Pet Portrait Commissions

Ive had a keen interest in drawing and painting from an early age and it has always been my passion to draw and create. I am always striving to better myself and my technique with every painting that I do, but I still think I have more to learn. My main passion is to paint animals and to try to capture the soul of the animal on paper. I have been painting pet portraits for many years and they are one of my favourite subjects to portray.
