Hello and welcome to Wild Portrait Artist! I'm a wildlife and pet portrait artist based in the UK. I really love making art that makes an impact in people's lives - whether it's a portrait of a loved furry friend or original work with a meaningful message behind them.

My passion is animal portraiture with the goal of showing just how vibrant and wonderful wildlife can be. I enjoy drawing a wide variety of animals but my favouite has to be birds! They are so full of character and there is a huge variety of amazing and colourful species out there.

My favourite medium to work in is coloured pencils - the brands I use are all artist quality and lightfast so that my artwork will last for many years.
