Fine artist capturing the character of pets, people, and venues through custom portraits. Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
I am passionate about creating artworks with colourful personality. I use a range of mediums and artistic styles to realise each subject; from intricate, realistic coloured pencil portraits to expressive acrylics and watercolours.
For each commission, I talk with clients to get to know their special location or loved one (whether four-legged or two-) and request a few favourite photos. My aim is not just to create an impeccable likeness, but to be inspired by each subject and bring them to life.
About Me
I am an artist, living in Belfast with my best friend and our gorgeous Greyhound, Mimi.
Before embarking on a career in art, I studied and conducted research in psychology. The enthusiasm for understanding people (and animals!) that influenced my studies is something that I now continue to explore through my artworks.
As someone living with a chronic condition, this art has not only been a passion, but a lifeline. I believe in the potential of art as therapy and am incredibly lucky to be able to create and share my work.

How does it work?
-
Step 1: Time to Shop
Make your purchase in my online shop – you can choose your preferred style, size and number of subjects in your artwork. If you have any questions or need some advice, feel free to contact me first using email, WhatsApp or the web form.
-
Step 2: You’ve got mail!
I’ll send you an email to request some more information and some reference photos to get to know your loved one / location. This is your artwork, so I will take on board any ideas you have to make it even more special to you.
-
Step 3: The waiting game!
Your artwork will take approximately 2-6 weeks, depending on size and style; although, let me know if you’re in a hurry and I’ll see what I can do! I’ll send you photo updates throughout the process. You can also decide at this point if you’d like to add a frame before posting (this will cost a little bit extra).
-
Step 4: It’s finally home!
Your artwork will be sent ‘tracked and signed’ with Royal Mail. You’ll get an email to let you know it’s been dispatched, and a tracking number so you can follow its journey until it reaches you, safe and sound.
