The Brittany Spaniel..

"Very energetic, intelligent, hunt-point-retriever. Exceedingly keen game sense, persistent in hunting and finding game. A naturally keen worker with distinctive gait."

Another trial marker pen portrait- this time of the lovely 'Finch'. Really enjoyed drawing this. Super relaxing medium to work in.

Let's talk Christmas.. 🎄🎁

I know, I know- I'm mentioning the big C word already and it's not even Halloween yet!

But to avoid being inundated with last minute Christmas orders and being rushed off my feet, I'm closing my orders early November to ensure adequate time to complete all artwork.

Bespoke art work makes a lovely, memorable and thoughtful gift for all occasions- but there is definitely something charming about unwrapping artwork that's been under your tree 🎄

This year, I'm offering the following:

Pastel pet portraits
NEW marker pet portraits at a discounted trial price for the first few
Hand-illustrated decorative plates
Limited edition prints for sale
Original artwork for sale

Interested in any of the above? Pop me a message today to inquire about pricing.

'A very holly collie-mas'
First illustration for my upcoming winter limited edition print and card series.

Are there any specific dog breeds that people would like to see/buy prints or cards of?

If there's enough interest, I can put up pre orders for prints of this art piece ❄️✨

Recent plate orders!

I've lots of orders sketched up waiting for approval, so if you've ordered from me and are waiting on a sketch- please check your emails and also your messages on ko-fi, thank you! ♥️ Tracking numbers for shipped items will be updated today as well.

My last batch of plate order slots are now live on my ko-fi and these will be the last batch that will be finished, shipped and arrive prior to Christmas 🎄 🎁 These slots will be live for a couple of weeks and then be taken down again just to ensure everyone receives their plates before the holidays.

I also want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who has supported in some way; be it by liking, commenting and sharing and to those who have ordered and purchased artwork from me. It means the world that my small business is being supported and people enjoy my artwork.

Another finished, hand-illustrated plate order being shipped shortly; this time of a really gorgeous Rough Collie. 🐾🎃🍁 Can you guess the theme?

I also really enjoyed trying a different colour scheme and I think it fits the theme perfectly.

Another that is being shipped to the US! Super chuffed to have customers from across the sea. Thank you for commissioning me and I hope you enjoy your plate when it arrives 🧡

Latest hand-illustrated plate that is being shipped shortly to a customer in the US! Absolutely loved drawing this beautiful Border Terrier as it is a breed I have never drawn before.
