Hello, I'm Jess
Coloured pencil artist
I am based in Strathalbyn, South Australia, specialising in highly detailed animal portraits. Not only do I draw beloved pets, I also draw unique animals that live in the wild. My work is driven by a deep love for animals and the small details that make each one unique. Using slow, layered pencil techniques, I create lifelike portraits that honour the individuality and emotion of every creature I draw.
My approach
My drawings blend realism, storytelling and respect for the animals that inspire me.
Whether I`m creating a heartfelt pet portrait or capturing the spirit of wildlife, my goal is always the same, to celebrate the beauty, character and connection we share with animals in our lives. Using high quality artist pencils and archival paper, I work slowly and intentionally to build layers that bring out the unique textures of fur, feathers, skin and expressive eyes.
My goal is to create a piece of art that feels alive, heartfelt and personal.
