For a few weeks, my framed portraits were part of the Mill Hall exhibition. Experienced pet portrait artist in Rayleigh Usually when I hang my art its part of my stall display at a market, but this time I had actual walls and the whole space to myself! It felt a little strange arranging everything…
I was recently invited to a local art day and had a wonderful time. Pet portraits for animal lovers in Canewdon, Essex Most of my display was still hanging at Rayleigh Mill Hall for my exhibition, but I didn’t want to miss out so I worked with what I had left and I think my…
I’m so glad I actually managed to take some photos of my most recent event, and not just of my stall this time. A pet shop fun day for pet loving people This market seemed to be made for me, what with it being set at a pet shop and all. When I arrived I…
On Sunday August 2nd, I was at the Hockley Summer Fayre, an event that almost didn’t happen until some kind souls stepped in and saved the day.

I did a back-to-back market weekend, starting July 4th at Canewdon dog show. Dogs and art, the perfect combination As you can probably tell by how many dogs I draw, both for myself and clients, this kind of event is my happy place. It wasn’t planned, but the spot I chose just so happened to…

Feels like I only just started, but my time at the windmill, at least for this year, is already over. Here are some of my favourite pictures from the last couple of weeks. Rayleigh’s iconic windmill I wanted to take a photo each time I was on my way into the windmill, experimenting with different…
As you may know, I have my own studio space at the Rayleigh Windmill this month. Now that I’ve reached the halfway point of my stay, I thought I’d share a few photos I took over the last couple of weeks. I brought some things from my home studio to make the place feel more…
On April 11th I had a stall at the ‘Vintage & Makers Market’ in Chelmsford to promote my pet portrait services, here’s how my table looked before and after the show started: I didn’t take a lot of photos during the day since I spent most of it chatting with everyone who came by, however…
On April 4th I had a stall at a local Easter market. First things first, I had to iron my hand-painted tablecloth that had sat unused for far too long, then pack everything except the kitchen sink into my suitcase. It wasn’t a long drive since I live pretty close by. It was quite nostalgic…
