Greetings card
Pencil Drawings - colour and black and white
I have been working with pencils for as long as I can remember. I usually work on Canford card/Stonehenge paper using the Karisma range of pencils. I work from home in a small studio converted from our old coal shed.
I take commissioned portraits of people and pets, animal illustrations, line drawings for catalogues etc. I havemy own range of greetings cards which I sell locally and most of my pictures are now available as limited edition giclee prints. I also sell images for commercial use, ie on shopping list pads, greetings cards and as illustrations for children’s books.
I pay special attention to detail, and like to work in a realistic style, working mainly from photographic reference, as children and animals don’t sit still for very long!
I am a Member of SOFA (The Society of Feline Artists) and have exhibited regularly with them at the Llewellyn Alexander Gallery in London each year and various other exhibitions throughout the country. I am also a signature member of UKCPS (UK Coloured Pencil Society).
