About

My love for animals and the natural world has always been at the heart of my creativity, and I’m passionate about bringing their unique personalities and beauty to life through my work.

I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember, but it was my love of pets and the joy they bring to our lives that inspired me to focus on creating bespoke pastel portraits. Capturing the little details – the softness of fur, the spark in their eyes – is what makes every piece so special to me.

When I’m not at my desk drawing or working, you’ll often find me outdoors, exploring with my partner Tom and our two cocker spaniels, Luna and Nova (aka “The Beans”). They’re a constant source of inspiration, whether we’re hiking, doing canicross, or simply enjoying time in nature. It’s this connection to the natural world that also inspires my wildlife art and outdoor-themed illustrations.

Dylan

It’s not just a symbol for my business—it’s a tribute to the one who started it all.


My logo is a simple yet meaningful line drawing of Dylan, my old dog. Dylan wasn’t just a pet—he was my muse and the reason I first began drawing and exploring photography.

Studio Assistants

Every artist needs a team of dedicated helpers, and mine are no exception! Meet my lovable (and slightly mischievous) studio assistants who keep things lively and ensure I never take myself too seriously.

  • Luna

    Head of Barking Operations
    From barking at delivery drivers ("security measures," she says) to her daily office snoozes, Luna takes her job very seriously. Her specialty? Motivational staring contests. When she’s not on high alert, you’ll find her curled up, recharging her barking batteries for the next delivery emergency.

  • Nova

    Chief Energy Officer
    Nova is a whirlwind of energy—her body practically vibrates from her tail movement as she zips around the studio ensuring maximum excitement at all times. She firmly supervises every task with unrelenting enthusiasm.

  • Islay

    Director of Chaos

    Islay’s job is simple: create as much "artistic tension" as possible. Whether she’s batting pencils off the desk or sitting directly on my portraits, she’s a master of controlled chaos. She also doubles as the studio’s timekeeper, ensuring I never work past her dinner time.
