2022 Portfolio

I paint in pastels, mainly pastel pencils and soft pastels and my preferred paper is Clairefontaine Pastelmat. I specialise in animal art, especially animal portraits and still life. I source my photo references from my own photos and publicly available free use websites including Pixabay and Unsplash and facebook pages such as Free reference photos for Artists and Free animal reference photos for artists. Where photographer accrediatation is required this is noted.
