About The Artist

I was born in Guernsey in the Channel Islands and I now live in London with five crazy cats and a human. I love painting landscapes, cats, dogs and other animals. I work mainly in oils and acrylics on fine grained canvas and board. I paint full time and I exhibit and sell my paintings at exhibitions, online and to private clients. I have a range of original paintings and prints for sale on my web sites. The Painted Dog has all the dogs, The Painted Cat has all the cats and Denise Laurent has a selection of dogs and cats as well as wildlife paintings my other animal work.

Contemporary Canine Art

The inspiration for my paintings comes from the natural world. I'm strongly attracted to colour and light and I like to use rich, colour in my paintings. Colour is a wonderful tool to reflect emotion and mood. My paintings all come from an emotional response to my subject. I have a passion for animals and I love painting them. I enjoy trying to capture their personalities, that quirky essence that makes each one an individual. I am intrigued by the way they interact with the world, each animal has its own unique perspective on life which demands to be captured in paint.

Commissions

Would you'd like a unique painting of your dog? I take commissions to create original portraits of your dog in oils or acrylics. People often ask if I can work from photos and the answer is yes I can. I get commissions from many different countries so working from photographs plays quite a large part in the process. I can come and take photos as reference for the painting or you can send me photos to work from. Photos can be emailed to me and I’ll email you with sketches, ideas and work in progress photos so you can watch your painting grow.

Charities

I support a number of animal charities involved with conservation, animal welfare, and also environmental organisations. Here are some of them...
