All about me

Horsey Life

Passion for drawing

Horsey Life

I've been in love with horses for as long as I can remember. I started by pestering my Dad to go pony trekking while on holidays in Wales. I had a wonderful welsh section B on loan at the age of 12 after years of lessons who taught me everything...jumping, dressage, gymkhana and lots of falling off.

I bought my gorgeous boy when I was 16.

I bought my gorgeous boy when I was 16. He was 18 months old and I fell in love with him immediately. Bluey is 24 now and still a handful to ride but I wouldn't have it any other

I am a wife and Mom to two gorgeous kids. I work full time as a Systems Analyst and fit my passion of drawing around my hectic yet very satisfying lifestyle. My daughter loves Bluey and regularly "helps" me down the yard.


I also have 2 gorgeous dogs: Ky - a mixed breed who is a gentle giant and Roxie - a staffie x collie who definitely wears the trousers and likes to keep us all in check.

I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. My first teacher said I had a gift at the age of 5 when I drew a picture of my classmates sitting cross-legged listening to a story. Art has always been a passion of mine and have always tried to fit it into my hectic life. I started sketching with pencils, dabbled in acrylics and inks but have found my true medium of pastels. I find them so easy to apply (especially once I treated myself to some fantastic Pan Pastels) and I find they create tones in the fur that highlights shine and shade effortlessly.
