I am inspired by people and animals. I am interested in the way they behave and their thoughts. My art has taken on a life of its own recently, following a path of exploration into portraiture, wild life and nature, and also different media and combinations of media within one painting. Images of this work can be found in my gallery, as well my Facebook and Instagram pages. Follow me on social media for regular updates to my painting journey
​
My paintings are mainly in watercolour which will come to you mounted and in a plastic sleeve. I love the freedom I have when I paint with watercolour. Water has a life of its own and I enjoy the slow process of layering up the colours of water to see the final results. Some of my work is in acrylic. I feel less free when I paint with acrylic, and enjoy concentrating on the details.
Prints (a5 and a4) and digital copies (up to a4 size) are available too. I will add these to my Etsy shop soon, or feel free to message me directly, as I am always happy to talk and advise.
​
I can post straight to you in 1 - 2 days, free postage, if you are within the UK. Times may change if outside the UK and postage cost will apply. I can also post to a different address, if it is for a gift, and add a personalised note for you. Again, just message me with details.
​
If for any reason you are unhappy with the painting, I will give you a full refund if you can return the painting in the same standard as I have sent it to you, with the secure and protective packing.
​
If you are interested in having a painting painted for you personally, then please send me a message. I am always looking for more inspiration and ideas for painting, so all suggestions welcome!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
​
What animal can I get painted?
Any animal, or animals you like! if you have a vision, please share it. If you just want a nod to your favourite animal and to let me be creative, then let me create something special for you.
​
How much does it cost to get a painting of my favourite animal?
Short answer is, it depends. Prices start from £125 for an A5 size, but you can go as big and spend as much as you'd like. If you have a budget, I can tell you what I can do for you within that.
Please refer to the pricing page for more information about pricing
​
What sizes can I have?
Watercolour paintings, which are on paper, come in A5, A4 or A3 size as standard. You can have bigger, but A3 is usually big enough for most people (when you take into account frame size).
Framing obviously makes the overall piece a lot bigger and will need to be taken into consideration if you've got somewhere specific you'd like to hang the painting.
​
Acrylic Paintings come on a canvas. These come in standard sizes of A4, A3, 18x24" 24x36". These are my standard sizes because I have these in stock. However, it is easy enough to order a different size, including square or circular.
​
The A4 is a nice size if you want a small intimate and meaningful nod to your furry friend, or if you are limited for space. A3 is the most popular choice. 8x24" and 24x36" are a more centre piece kind of size, but this completely depends on where you are you planning on hanging the painting of course.
​
How long does it take to complete a custom painting?
The usual turnaround time is 3 weeks, though it may vary based on my schedule. If framing is required, it could extend the duration. If you have a specific deadline, please let me know.
What is the payment process?
Once we agree on the painting's price, a 50% deposit is required before I commence work. I'll share photos of the almost finished painting for your input. The remaining payment can be made upon completion or as per a mutually agreed-upon timeframe, like spread over a few months.
Payment options include bank transfer ideally or Paypal (Paypal may incur additional charge). Payment plans are available upon request.
