Animals have always been a huge part of my life, whether I was walking my dogs, riding or just spending time with them.  This naturally led to an interest in their form and earthy beauty.

At three year old, I told my mam that she couldn't even draw a stick man! Whilst my dad enjoyed photography and graphical drawing, my brother drew fantastic mythical creatures and technical drawings.

As a family, we enjoyed walking, sub aqua diving and many other outdoor pursuits and often our pets would join us.  Our pets ranged from a Labrador to Slowworms, Guinea Pigs to Axolotyls, Cats to Golden Orf.

After leaving school I studied agriculture then took various jobs ranging from silver service waitressing to heavy horse showing, each job giving me ample opportunity to flex my drawing muscles.  In 1998  I set up a pet nanny service, Petnanny, caring for all types of pet and this allowed me to meet a huge quantity of perfect subjects, so after selling my artwork for over 11 years I decided to take my artwork a little further.
