It’s been quite the week this week! Just before Christmas, I was contacted by the University of Wolverhampton (the University I studied Graphic Design at) as they wanted to write a piece on me and my business for their news page. I was quite excited by this and gave a full interview on myself and how I came to draw pet portraits for a living. You can read the full article here: https://www.wlv.ac.uk/about-us/news-and-events/latest-news/2018/january-2018/art-graduate-creates-animal-magic-with-pet-portraits.php
This news piece was then noticed by the Express and Star newspaper who wanted to create a short write up on my work and printed it in Tuesday’s (9/1/18) paper! Being in the newspaper and having my artwork seen by all who read it was a dream of mine as a little girl so to have it come true felt amazing.

I’ve also been contacted by Derwent pencils to be a resident art blogger which is highly exciting! This week they send me a range of pencils they would like me to use and review, so in the next few weeks I’ll be writing a blog post for their own site. Watch this space!
