Welcome to my portfolio, where you can explore a selection of my artworks and gain insight into my unique artistic style.
I am a Soft Pastels artist who draws inspiration from the beauty of nature. Some of my earliest childhood memories consist of paper and pencils. I'd enjoy nothing more than copying a scene from a book, whether that was an Owl perched on a fence or perhaps an enchanted forest from a children's book! I still find myself using photo's as a reference to transform them into stunning artwork. Some of my greeting cards will feature my unique creations. Each card is a testament to the harmony between art and nature. Additionally, I am open to taking on commissioned projects, where I can bring someone's vision to life through my artistic skills. Whether it's a landscape, a floral arrangement, a portrait or any other natural element, I strive to capture its essence and translate it onto paper with soft pastels. My artwork is a reflection of the intricate details and vibrant colors found in the world around us.
My Background
The process of designing and creating artwork specifically for greeting cards allows me to combine my passion for art with the purpose of bringing joy to others. Each print is a testament to the hard work and dedication I put into honing my artistic skills. Seeing my artwork in print for greeting cards is not only a personal achievement but also a validation of my talent and a source of inspiration to continue pursuing my artistic endeavors.
Nature-inspired Art
I find great joy in seeking inspiration from various sources, such as a visit to the coast or a leisurely walk through woodland. The experience of immersing myself in the natural surroundings, absorbing the unique smells, sights, and sounds, fuels my creative spirit. I am particularly drawn to capturing these moments through photography, using my own pictures as a reference to recreate the essence of those memories in my art. By infusing the images with my own perspective and artistic interpretation, I am able to transport myself and others back to those cherished moments in time. Through my art, I aim to evoke the same emotions and sensations that I experienced during these unforgettable encounters with nature.
Commissioned Artwork
It all started when I was younger and realised my talent for capturing the essence of well-known individuals on paper using graphite pencils. However, as the demand for my drawings grew and my family, I decided to take a break from it. It was during the first lockdown that I found solace in art once again. My hubby had bought me some Pastel pencils and a few sticks for Christmas. (Eternally grateful for his love and support) I decided to surprise my aunty by creating a portrait of her Bonny dog as a gift. Witnessing her overwhelming joy and tears of happiness brought me immense satisfaction. It was in that moment that I realized the power of art to bring comfort and happiness to others. Since then, I have dedicated myself to bringing joy to people through my commissioned artworks.
