JCW Pet Portraits

About Me

My Background

Finding out that I can draw was a huge surprise. I never envisaged that I would be a pet and equine portrait artist.

I have never studied art and had never heard of Coloured Pencils being used as an artist's medium until July of 2019, when my journey began.

Follow me on my evolving journey.

My world

My Background

My world

I am married to Penny and live in Morecambe, Lancashire with our two Golden Retrievers Pippa and Cilla. The first animal drawings I produced were of these two scoundrels.

I love nothing more than going away in our touring caravan with friends and of course, the dogs.

Our favourite destinations are Cornwall and North Yorkshire.

Obviously, my pencils come too!
