My passion is drawing cats. Using coloured pencil I create amazingly lifelike, beautiful and characterful portraits which have a recognisable and unique style.
As a child, I marvelled at art and nature, and sought solace in the company of our cats. I have always appreciated their beauty, and admired the strength and individuality of their characters.
I became a professional artist in 2019, taking on commission work. Watching a beautiful feline face coming to life on the drawing board is compelling and very rewarding, and I often feel like the luckiest person in the world doing this as a job. It's such a buzz to see the reaction from my clients - I know I must be doing something right when I have so many repeat customers on my books.
Now, 10 years on from when I picked up a coloured pencil and thought, "this is the medium for me", I am taking the exciting step of publishing a book. I am very excited to announce that my book, A Celebration of Cats is now available to buy. It is a hardback, 11" square, showcasing a selection of 60 of my cat portraits.
Please order here - A Celebration of Cats Volume 1
If you're thinking of ordering a book or a portrait, or are here to enjoy the art, I always welcome your feedback and enquiries. I post regular work in progress updates and news on my Facebook page.
