I'm Jackie, a self-taught artist living in Worcester, specialising in pet portraits and wildlife art. I have painted all my life, mainly animals and wildlife, working primarily in soft pastels on veolour and pastelmat. My aim is to produce realistic, lifelike drawings and paintings, with attention to detail a main priority - to capture the personality of each individual animal. I work from photographs, my own where possible.

I've recently discovered the art of coloured pencils and have started to produce a few portraits using this medium. Its a very different technique, and much slower, but the results are amazing! Much more detail is possible, its almost like drawing every single hair!

I hope that you enjoy viewing my artwork; please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to commission a painting.
