Hello everyone, I'm brand new here so thought I'd drop a post in and introduce myself.  I'm a full-time (or trying to be) wildlife conservation & pet portrait artist who works in watercolours, and paint a lot of cats as that's where my background in wildlife conservation took me! I strive to create paintings that capture the enigmatic spirit of wildlife and try to use my paintings as a platform for education too. It was during my postgraduate studies that I began to take pet portrait commissions and, during a period of ill health, decided to step back from my career in wildlife conservation to heal while focusing on my art. I now use my art as a vessel to explore my ongoing passion for animals, and desire to reconnect others with the natural world. My signature style incorporates a bold and energetic use of colour, which is inspired by colour symbolism in Ancient Egyptian art. I'm excited to be able to connect with, and learn from, other artists here. Can't wait to have a read through the forums and meet some new people.
Here's a few pieces I painted last year "Zari The Cheetah" "Nima The Leopard" "Incana The Giant Otter"
Welcome: and three great paintings to show us.   There's a lot to read in the forums, on other parts of the site, eg techniques, back copies of the magazines, there's a blog page, and of course the gallery. Dive in!
