Choosing the Photo

Advice to help you choose a reference photo

I hope you enjoy viewing my gallery of horse portraits. Almost all of the artwork shown in the gallery are commissioned portraits, alongside some self directed work that I have created when testing new materials.

My artwork has a life-like, highly detailed and painterly style that I have perfected over thirty years of working in the field of portraiture. All of my portraits are created over many hours using high quality materials in rich colours and tones to ensure a stunning likeness. I work in pastel, graphite pencil, coloured pencil, watercolour and oils on canvas.

If you have any questions about the materials I use or whether a specific medium would be suitable for your portrait please get in touch as I’d be delighted to advise.

Over the Moon!

Pippa did 2 fabulous portraits of my Labrador & Spinone X for my husbands Christmas present. He was over the moon with them.
Will definitely be using her services again
