About
Thank you for visiting my page...I specialise in hyperrealism drawings that I draw with pastels. Whether you are looking for an original or it is prints art, I can help. Whatever you are looking for, you may be interested in how this all started
A little girl of about 7 years old once sat in the living room at home with her elderly Grandfather who was baby-sitting. In an effort to occupy and keep her quiet, he handed her a scrap of paper and a pencil and said ‘show me what you can draw’. The little girl stared adoringly at her ‘Grampie’ and began drawing a picture of a bald old man wearing glasses, a thin moustache, smoking a roll-up and sitting in a huge armchair. When she had finished she proudly said ‘there Grampie; I can draw you!!’ He smiled, gave her a huge kiss and told her how proud he was of her and how clever she was. He then carefully folded the scrap of paper, pushed it gently into his tatty brown wallet and said ‘I’m going to keep that forever and take it with me everywhere’. The little girl smiled and cuddled her Grampie: That his where her love for drawing and capturing the true likeness of her subject began.
As I grew up I used drawing with pastel pencils as my way to relax, a release, something to do and enjoy. Lots of people suggested I use my ‘talent’ in my future career but for me drawing was something special, something I never wanted to have to do and so I embarked on a life of offices and administration. I continued to take the occasional commission and as a young mum, I used to enjoy capturing the different stages of my children growing up and many-a-portrait was produced for friends of their children and pets.
As the years went on, life began to get in the way. Mum of two lively teenagers, a divorce, selling and buying a house, a re-marriage and then at 40 something, I enrolled onto a 3-year post-graduate university course in an effort to better my career. The pencils and easel got neatly packed away and put up into a dark corner of the loft; the hours turned to days, the days to weeks and the weeks to years and drawing just became a distant memory of something I used to love to do.
Fast forward to 2018 and a moment of reflection on what a ridiculously busy life I had, what crazy hours I worked and what things I could do to redress my work-life balance. I took a torch, pulled down the loft-ladder and blew the dust off my carefully packed drawing materials and easel from 25 years ago. That’s when I decided to see if I could still do it and to have a go at drawing ‘Double Trouble’, my babies of today, my two stunning Weimaraner's Tiho and Tala…….
……..the rest as they say…………..is history!!
So from pastel pencil pet portraits, portraits of people and photo portraits, I have now expanded my port folio and art for sale to include a wide range of painting pastels of wildlife in hyper realistic painting styles. From Art Original to art for sale to fine art prints, everything you want is here. If you cannot find what you are looking for just note me and let me know - I am happy drawing portraits or subjects of almost any kind.
This has resulted in my proudly receiving a number of awards which can be viewed on the 'Awards' page of the website

Commission - Information
I paint what I see and I assure an excellent likeness of the photos you provide.
You will need to provide high quality photo which needs to be approved and agreed by the artist before work is commissioned. Photo shoots local to the artist can be arranged subject to an agreed fee.
You will need to provide high quality photo which needs to be approved and agreed by the artist before work is commissioned. Photo shoots local to the artist can be arranged subject to an agreed fee.
- The best photos are achieved in natural daylight or by a large window. This ensures true colours and detail are captured
- Avoid direct sunlight or shady corners as both can make the end picture too bright or dark in places. Sunshine can also make your subject squint or create dark shadows which takes away from the detail we want to achieve. Choose a bright but overcast day ideally and with the sun behind you.
- Use a High Definition/Resolution camera [even phone cameras have good quality settings on them these days] and take as many picture as you possibly can; one of them will be what you want.
- Get in as close as you can, don't leave lots of background behind the subject unless you want this incorporated into the picture
- Take the picture at the subjects level if you can as this prevent weird distortion
- Have someone to help you - if the subject is a pet, take treats or a favourite toy and try to let the other person encourage your pet to pose whilst you click away...keep clicking...keep clicking!!
- When you think you have the photo you want - just take a bit more time taking some really close up photos of feature like eyes, mouth - this really helps me to get the colours right and to capture the personality and soul of your subject
- We can draw multiple subjects in one picture and these photos can be taken separately but remember they have to work. So the lighting and colours need to be right and the focal-line has to be complimentary. So both looking at the lens or both looking away - if one is looking up and the other down, that's unlikely to work.
- If required, I can provide a concept/mock-up of what your portrait will look like before we make a start on it.
Hyper realism
Getting Up Close and Personal!
A studio in a spare room of the house, I now shut myself away with a sofa for the dogs and my easel in the corner and do what I love doing. I have been absolutely determined to get better and better and to create portraits that not only are an excellent likeness but that also completely capture the heart and soul of the subject.
For me I like not just to look at a picture from a distance but to go up close, to see the detail involved. I like to see every mark, every line, every hair, every sparkle of an eye but most of all. I like to achieve hyperrealism art and paintings pastel
For commission work I pride myself in obtaining a true likeness of the subject. I like to get the reaction of the person commissioning it – I like to know I have created something for them that means the world, that they can look at and see and hear the personality of their loved one from within the picture. I never cease to be immensely proud that people want my art as a forever keepsake in their homes.
When I am not working on commissions, I like to work on wildlife, using my own or royalty/copyright-free photo references to continue doing what I love, challenging myself to continually improve drawing portraits
As long as there is something on the easel, I am content!

Taking your Photo 1
So what makes a good photo? - CLEAR - COMPLETE - CLOSE
- You need to be able to zoom right in and see the detail
- If you want a full body shot make sure you get everything in - no missing toes or tails :-)
- Don't take it too far away - I wont be able to capture the detail
The most important thing to remember is that for a pet portrait or any other art portraits, I can only draw what I see. We can work together and I can guide you to ensure that what you provide is going to give you the portrait gift that you want
Taking your Photo 2
So what makes a good photo? NATURAL LIGHTING
Picture Exposure
MOST IMPORTANT: Don't give up - we aren't photographers but we can and will get a picture we can work with - just keep trying - take loads - when you see the pose you want just keep clicking - one of them will be the one!! If you are not sure if its good enough just send it across to me and I am happy to advise. I am happy to receive as many pictures as you want to ensure we get the one that is right for you.
- Try to take in a natural daylight setting
- Too sunny or bright there will be bleaching, squinting etc
- Too misty or dark and we wont be able to see the detail we want
