Animals

Portraits of creatures we live beside, capturing the tenderness, spirit, and silent language that binds human and animal life.

The Bordoodle (2024)

The Bordoodle was painted as part of a small series of animal portrait studies examining breed-specific form and expression. This piece focuses on texture and temperament — the way softness of fur, light, and colour work together to convey innocence without idealisation.

The Weimaraner (2024)

The Weimaraner was painted as an independent study exploring the balance between realism and painterly abstraction. The breed’s naturally sculptural form lends itself to study — the soft fall of the ears, the reflective surface of the coat, and the dignified tension of its posture. This painting seeks to capture that distinctive elegance while retaining the spontaneity of brushwork that defines my animal portraits.

Horse Study (2025)

This study was created as part of the preliminary research for Soft Apocalypse, serving as both anatomical exploration and emotional calibration. The horse has long existed in art as a symbol of grace and endurance, but here the focus lies on restraint — a still moment before motion, a quietness that anticipates the larger themes of transformation and vulnerability within the main work.

Untitled - Lion Wearing Ruff (2024)

Created in 2024 for Oddity Town, this commissioned piece reimagines the lion — a symbol of strength and sovereignty — within the language of Renaissance portraiture. The ruff, historically worn as a marker of nobility and excess, transforms the animal into both monarch and spectacle. The result is a fusion of feral instinct and artifice, an image that questions where nature ends and performance begins.

Sadie Lady (2024)

Sadie Lady was painted in 2024 as a companion piece, celebrating a living presence rather than remembering one. Created for my partner’s dog, the work captures her strength and alert curiosity while preserving a softness that speaks to trust and familiarity.

Spyro (2024)

Spyro was painted in 2024 as a family memorial portrait. Like many of my commemorative works, it began from a place of grief but evolved into an act of tenderness — a way of preserving presence through light and texture. The painting captures not only likeness but character: the quiet alertness in the eyes, the subtle curve of posture, and the impression of thought behind the stillness.

Lily Pad Lounge (2024)

Lily Pad Lounge was created as a small-format piece exploring how character and atmosphere can coexist within a single moment. The frog, perched calmly at the centre of the composition, becomes both subject and observer - still, luminous, and oddly human in its composure.

Berry Bunny (2024)

Berry Bunny began as an experiment in scale - a small, accessible artwork designed for sticker format, yet treated with the same painterly attention as a larger piece. Its simplicity invites familiarity, using charm and texture to create an emotional connection without words.

Nalah (2023)

Nalah was painted in 2023 as part of a series of family pet portraits that quietly document affection through form. While the composition appears simple, the work focuses on an emotional subtlety often overlooked in animal portraiture: the gravity within innocence.

Untitled - Budgie (2023)

This small painting began as an observational study rather than a portrait, focusing on the formal relationship between colour, light, and texture. The budgie’s delicate posture and vibrant plumage provided a natural framework to explore luminosity - how light behaves across feathers, and how warmth and coolness can coexist within a single surface.

Italia's Cat (2023)

This portrait was created as a gift and memorial, painted for a friend in remembrance of her cat. The work approaches loss through stillness rather than sentiment, portraying not absence but enduring presence. In painting the subject, I aimed to capture the subtle balance between portraiture and memory — how an image can hold life long after it has passed.

Floki (2023)

Floki continues my exploration of personal animal portraiture, where familiarity deepens observation. Created as a family commission, this piece focuses on poise and presence rather than sentiment, capturing the subject’s dignity through stillness and form.

Kratos (2023)

Kratos was created as a family commission, though the process became something more intimate than simple likeness. Pet portraiture often carries a weight that human portraiture sometimes doesn’t: the responsibility to preserve not only the subject’s form but their spirit, their way of being seen and remembered.

Untitled - Highland Calf (2023)

This small portrait of a Highland calf departs from the vast, desolate landscapes found elsewhere in my practice and turns instead toward something intimate and disarmingly sincere. Painted in 2023, it examines the emotional resonance of animal portraiture and how expression, even without human form, can evoke empathy and stillness.

Soft Apocalypse (2025)

In Soft Apocalypse, the end of the world arrives quietly, not with fire or ruin, but with melancholy stillness. A barefoot woman in a faded pink dress sits sidesaddle on a white horse amid an abandoned car park. The evening sky burns faintly gold against bruised clouds, and a broken shopping trolley filled with wilted flowers leans beside her. Everything around her feels touched by both decay and grace.

Predation (2025)

Predation is a visual cacophony of hunger; human, animal, and divine. Wolves snarl beside corpses, serpents coil through skeletal throats, and crows tear at the remnants of flesh. The scene feels both apocalyptic and cyclical, as though this feeding has always been happening, just beyond the frame of human conscience.
