Turn your pet’s personality into a timeless hand-painted portrait

It began when I adopted an ex-racing greyhound called Vinny and decided to use my art to raise money for greyhound charities. From there, my love of painting animals grew, and I just love to capture their characters through my direct alla prima painting style.

I’m from Yorkshire, where my life is a balance between teaching art at a boarding school and pursuing my own art practice. Having grown up in a farming family, I feel most at home surrounded by animals and the countryside. My days are split between the energy of the classroom and the quiet, restorative beauty of rural Yorkshire.
