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!

Happy little animal art prints
to make you smile
Choose a happy animal art print and get a real A5 print through the post.
Life gets a bit much sometimes.
When something small makes you smile, it’s worth paying attention.
That’s exactly what these little animals are for. They’re gentle. A bit cheeky.
And they have a funny way of catching your eye when you least expect it.
Some people say they even whisper that you should eat biscuits (so you have someone to blame).
Because small smiles matter.
Hi, I'm Lucia.
I'm the artist behind these paintings.
You might be wondering why I painted these animals. Is it just to make you smile?
Well… yes. But let me explain how that came about.
For years I've been painting these little animals with big eyes, happy smiles and a warm, feel good feeling.
Lately though, people have been telling me they’re dealing with some really tough health issues… things I can’t even imagine. And my heart really goes out to them.
But the amazing thing is, they don’t just sit around feeling sorry for themselves.
They actively look for things that make their lives a little better.
And quite a few of them have told me that these little paintings bring them a smile on the tougher days.
So now when I paint these animals, I do it with that in mind.
So that when you have a difficult day, you can glance at one of them and smile… even if it’s just a little bit.
Because the small smiles matter most.
And honestly, the animals and the messages people send me help me too.
On the days when I struggle, knowing these little paintings are out there making someone smile means more than I can say.
