Hello, I'm Michelle, I am a UK based artist, dedicated to capturing the beauty of animals through realistic painting techniques. My journey has seen me transition from pastels to watercolours, a shift that has deepened my connection to my passion. From beloved pets, farm animals, to the wonders of wildlife, my subjects reflect the love for the beauty of nature.

I specialise in highly detailed, realistic watercolours. Using professional watercolour paints, Fabriano Artistico and Arches watercolour paper.

As an artist dedicated to realism, I take extra care into every composition, ensuring it's not just a painting but a treasure to be cherished forever.
Whether you're seeking a heartfelt gift for a loved one or a special painting for yourself, I'm here to bring your vision to life.
