'Red Robin'. My very FIRST animal painting. I had no clue how to tackle feathers. I also didn't quite know how to put in a decent background. But...here is where the animal paintings all started, with this cheeky little bird.
Foxy Face. My second animal painting. Many things I'd do different, but it was a confidence boost nonetheless. Making this partial fox face look relatively decent, I figured I could only get better.
Meet Suki. We had this kitten for a few months and in a freak accident we lost her before she had a chance to become our furry forever friend. But...as I wanted to do pet portraits...she was my first ever cat portrait I made.
'Deer's Delight'. An imagined galaxy sky with deer silhouettes. From my early days when I was doing landscapes only.
'Horse Eye'. Also an early animal painting that I'd probably want to redo one day. As a lover of horses as a young girl, I had to at least have a horse in my portfolio. More to come in the future I hope...
I painted "Valentine’s Moon" as a creative way to lean into the season and play with all the pinks and purples on my palette. It was made specifically for my YouTube channel and released just in time for Valentine’s Day 2022 — soft, dreamy, and full of cozy vibes.
'Mermaid Sunset' is a fantasy piece from my earlier painting days (think 2021). The sky and water came straight from my imagination — just me messing around with colors and brushes to see what would happen. The mermaid silhouette was based on a reference I found online and added the perfect touch to the dreamy shoreline scene. It’s one of those older pieces I still have a soft spot for.
"African Sunrise" is a piece inspired by what I imagine a sunrise in Africa might look like, even though I’ve never been there. The warm, golden tones of the sky and land were painted freely, with only the silhouette of the elephant drawn from a reference photo. It’s an attempt to capture the feeling of that vast, sun-soaked landscape — a moment frozen in time, even if it’s all in my mind.
