Hi, my name is Christine and I live with my husband Kelvin, one dog and two mischievous cats.
We live in a peaceful village just south of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Like most of Wales, the scenery is breathtaking and would inspire any artist.

My passion for drawing animals started at the young age of seven. I have very fond memories of watching my babysitter draw beautiful horses in graphite.

One of the main reasons for taking up art was due to the amount of time I spend at home. I have a physical disability which I have had since birth (CP) and due to other health issues, I sadly had to give up work.

I had already tired my hand at Watercolours and Acrylics in the past without success, however, in 2006 after seeing the beautiful Pastel artwork of Colin Bradley, I tried pastels and finally settled for this medium.
Being a self taught artist, I was eager to learn and improve my newfound skills and I began to purchase several books and tutorial videos from various animal artists who were willing to share their knowledge.
You will find many of these great artists in my links section as I feel that they rightly deserve credit for their work in helping people like me to improve their own artistic talents.

I am an active member and Administrator of the Pet Portraits & Wildlife Art Forum owned by the very talented artists Melanie Phillips & Nick Beall. This forum has been a huge source of information and inspiration for me right from the beginning and I have made lots of new friends in the process.

In 2010 I would like to do the Diploma in Pet Portraiture with the London Art College.
