Biography

My home is in rural Kent, where I live with my family and Goldendoodle; here I have a studio surrounded by the beautiful countryside. I studied graphic design at the Kent Institute of Art and Design but, have always had a love for pastels in which I now use for all of my portraits. I have been creating pastel portraits of people and pets from photos or digital photos for around 4 years now, this medium gives a depth and vibrancy that works well with my style. I am now in the process of learning oils and in the future I hope to be able to offer portraits in this medium also... I can be found on https://www.facebook.com/JoanneSmithArt/
