I am a 21 year old, self taught freelance artist based in Victoria, Australia. From the moment I could hold a pencil, I have enjoyed drawing, painting and art has grown to become a huge part of my life. It has become my escape. Growing up a country girl, I am just as passionate about my love for animals, in particularly my horses and I believe this is evident through my realistic portraits of creatures great and small. I try to capture each animal's individuality and personality, reflecting this in my soft pastel drawings. What started as a hobby and a few sketches for my friends, expanded what seemed over night into a thriving freelance business with a strong and still growing client base. The most rewarding part is giving someone the gift of a visual memory that can be cherished for a life time. To have the ability to aid in the closure or give something back to those who have lost a beloved pet and a beloved friend makes all those hours in front of my easel worth while.
