About Me 

​

Based in Buckinghamshire my love for horses began at a very young age. Although I have since lost both of my horses, Owen, a chestnut Thoroughbred who could be surprisingly mare-ish for a gelding, and Ollie, a dapple grey Irish Sport Horse (ISH) who was a wise old soul even at the age of four, they continue to inspire my artwork and creative journey.

 

I had hoped Ollie would have gone out eventing after finding his love for jumping. However, after one setback after another, beginning just four months after I brought him home. We did spent a wonderful year enjoying a variety of disciplines together before I sadly had to say goodbye to him shortly after his eleventh birthday. The bond I shared with both Owen and Ollie is at the heart of the artwork I create today.

​

In 2022, after losing Ollie, I picked up my paintbrush again and reconnected with a lifelong passion. I don't have an art degree—I'm proudly self-taught, learning through practice, perseverance, and a genuine love for creating artwork that captures the spirit of each animal.

​

I studied for an FdSc and a BSc (Hons) in Equine Studies before graduating in 2015. I then spent several years working in the equestrian industry, gaining experience at dressage, livery, and showing yards. This hands-on knowledge gives me a deep understanding of horses, their expressions, and their unique personalities.

​

Today, I work primarily in acrylic and coloured pencil, creating bespoke portraits of horses, pets, and wildlife. My aim is always to capture not just a likeness, but the character, emotion, and individuality that make every animal unique.

​

I also enjoy exploring other subjects and creating original artwork, with original pieces that will be available for sale soon. I'd be honoured to create a piece that celebrates the animals who mean so much to you.
