About Me
I am a farm girl at heart, living in the country on a farm in Kent. Being surrounded by fields and animals seems to be my calling.
You will usually find me out in the fields either cleaning up after horses, fixing fences or chasing sheep.
When I am not on shepherdess or Horse duties I love nothing more than to sit down with my pencils.
There is something so tranquill and magical about having a blank page and creating a piece of art.
My Art
I use coloured pencils mainly, I had a go at pastel pencils and I have to say I do really like them and this is something that I am developing.
My Art journey started when I was about 10 years old, spending lots of time at my friend Claire's house (who is also a very talented artist) her dad Alan taught me how to draw.
When I left school I didn't draw at all except the odd cartoon here and there.
In January 2018 I was indoors very ill and could not go outside, and for an outdoors person like me It was making me go stir crazy.
I decided to pick up my pencils, wipe off the dust and have a play. I started with my dog's eye (She is a Red fox Lab) I then posted my picture on a Red fox Labrador group and from there was asked to do my first commision by a brave man on the group.
I explained that I had never done a portrait before, but he was happy for me to try.
I was very pleased with my first attempt, and so was my customer and off to the USA went my first commission.
My Horses
Horses are my first love, owning and riding my first pony from the age of 3 I have never been without them.
I currently own 5 horses.
My dream horse Reef, who is my friesian stallion.
Sunny, my heinz variety who I have owned since he was a 3 year old and is now happily retired at the age of 27.
Roma, who is my foundation brood mare and the essence of my v small but expanding stud,
and Roma's 2 daughters, Ruby by Totilas and Rhea by Desperados FRH.
My goal for breeding was to have 4 broodmares from world class bloodlines and only breed from top Grand Prix stallions.
I have another 2 years or so until I can say that I have achieved my goal.
The above photo is a pencil portrait of my Friesian stallion Reef.
The photo to the left is Roma and her foal Rhea.
