About Me
Art and snails
I live in the beautiful Garden of England county of Kent in the UK. I have always loved animals and have drawn them for as long as I can remember since a young child, with a special affinity for snails! I have collected ornament snails over the years, had a variety of pet snails from giant African land snails to aquatic snails and I have written, illustrated and had published a children's book called A Snail's Tale.
I left school after my A Levels and went to art college to study art and design, gaining a BTEC diploma in Foundation Studies. I then went to university and gained a BA Hons in Graphic Design - Illustration. I have been a local authority planning officer for many years with art as a constant passion in my spare time.
A lifelong ambition fulfilled
In August 2017 my children's book A Snail's Tale was published. It was an immense feeling of gratitude I experienced when I saw the book in print for the first time as it was something I'd wanted to do for a long time.
The book is available to buy here on my Shop page with the added bonus that on request, I can send you a personally signed copy. A perfect gift for someone special! Just send me a message on my contact form.
My beloved Ernie
When my own pet Ernie died, I knew the best way I could remember him was a portrait on my wall. I find art to be a very therapeutic process to occupy my mind and it takes me away from the stresses and strains of a busy life.
Please take a look at my Gallery of Pet Portraits for some of the animals I have drawn. I have either photographed them myself or I have worked from my client's photographs. I enjoy meeting all kinds of different animals, and the owners too of course! I am happy at any opportunity to get out and about and meet the subjects of my drawings. If you are not too far from me, I am willing to come and see you to photograph your animals in person.
