Heather is a Welsh artist based in the picturesque town of Llanrwst, North Wales. She specialises in creating pet portraits using coloured pencils, working on surfaces such as drafting film or pastelmat. Heather's work captures the personality and charm of each pet she draws.
Heather's artistic journey as a childhood doodler was rediscovered during the 2020 lockdown. She rekindled her creative spark while taking daily walks, where the beauty of flowers and wildlife inspired her. This led her to capture those moments through photography and translate them into coloured pencil drawings.
Driven by a desire to grow as an artist, Heather sought out mentorship from Bonny Snowdon, a renowned coloured pencil artist and teacher. Joining Bonny’s online academy connected Heather with a vibrant community of fellow artists, encouraging her to refine her skills and explore new techniques.
For Heather, art is about more than just creating images. It’s about capturing the deep bond between pets and their owners, preserving precious memories, and touching hearts. Each portrait she draws is a tribute to the special place that pets hold in our lives.
