Charcoal Portrait Artist, South West, UK
"Working in charcoal feels like channelling something beyond myself. There's a meditative quality to it—the way shadow and light can capture not just what an animal looks like, but who they are, what they carry, the voices they cannot speak. I'm searching for that soul, that spirit, that unique energy. Through my work, I explore what matters most; connection, gratitude, forgiveness, presence... Art has became my way of expressing a truth that there's profound meaning beneath the surface, that animals carry wisdom we've forgotten, that we're all more connected than we realize."
