Hi I am Gemma, a Mother of 2 gorgeous children, owner of many pets and an international Pet portrait Artist. I am based in Nottingham,Uk in my home studio.
I specialise using pastel, coloured and graphite pencils.
Pets are a huge part of our lives. Having a house full of pets is a must for us .
I worked in a Children's Nursery for 10 years then left to have my two lovely children. I had the best time as a full time Mummy with them, I was so lucky to have the opportunity to be with them for so long before they started full time education. During lockdown I taught myself how to draw pets by watching Youtube channels, just as a hobby. I didn't realise it would turn into a small business. It fits perfectly around my family life. My passion for Art has returned.
I started off by using graphite pencils, then I drew some coloured pencil portraits. I then tried pastel pencils, they were the pencils I wished to specialise in. So I decided to offer pastel portraits only. I have recently decided to bring back graphite and coloured pencil portraits as well as wood slice portraits. I thought why not add more options again seeing as though people have different tastes.I have been drawing pet portraits at home for people from their clear photographs for a few years now. In which I love doing .
My pastel portraits are created using Faber-Castell pitt, Stabilo CarbOthello and Conte a paris and Derwent pastel pencils on Clairfontaine pastel mat or a wood slice to capture your pets character in an artistic way. I do not use too much detail as I wish to create a loose piece of art work that looks arty.
My coloured pencil portraits are created using Faber-castell polychromos and Caran d ache luminance pencils on Strathmore bristol smooth white paper. My graphite portraits are created using Staedtler mars lumograph ,Faber-castell graphite and mechanical pencils on Strathmore bristol smooth.
I have drawn hundreds of portraits over the years and wish to create many more for you. You can view some of these in the website gallery or head over to my social media.
I can't wait to draw you a unique pet portrait!
