Some of the artists who have previously taken part

I am a multi-disciplinary artist based in Beckenham. I’m influenced by animals, nature and the world around me, portraying ideas using various mediums and substrates. These include paint, pastels and resin- all depending on the subject. I thoroughly enjoy beach combing and often include beach finds such as sea glass into my work. You can also commission a pet/animal portrait. These are often framed pastel paintings, painted stones or sometimes on wood. To see my gallery of work or if you’d like to get in touch about a commission you can contact me
