About
Hi,
I'm Carol
I'm a coloured pencil artist based in North Wales, specialising in animal portraits.
I've been very fortunate growing up surrounded by animals and wildlife in the beautiful hills of North Wales. Animals have always been a passion of mine. They have inspired many of my drawings from a young age.
My aim is to create realistic animal portraits, which capture the heart and soul of your pet to be treasured forever, as I really do understand how much they mean to you.
