PORTRAIT ARTIST
I am a portrait artist specialising particularly in Hyper‑realistic portraits, and create hand drawn portraits with charcoal and graphites pencils and colour pencils.
Based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I take portraiture commissions from all over the UK and abroad. Unlike those portrait artists who require a series of sittings I work entirely from digital photographs which customers send to me via email.

Embracing the mystery of feline grace, their eyes hold secrets of enchantment. Despite my fears, I admire their elegant beauty and captivating presence. Cats, with their graceful movements and mesmerizing gaze, are truly a sight to behold.

Lucie was my beloved pet , a true treasure in my life. From the moment we met, her loyalty and protectiveness shone through. She was always by my side,making sure am always alright, jealous when she sees me playing with my other dogs. Her love was so deep that most times she wouldn’t eat unless I hand-fed her.
Even during her battle with glaucoma, I became her guiding light, feeding her with love and care. Losing her was one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced. I wish I could still have her here with me. To forever remember her, I’ve created this Rottweiler drawing,a tribute to her cuteness and the incredible bond we shared. She will always hold a special place in my heart.
Corgis are known for their playful and affectionate nature. They are intelligent, loyal, and full of energy, making them great companions.

Each stroke of charcoal captures his journey — one built on sweat, sacrifice, and unshakable resolve. Samson isn’t just a champion; he’s proof that with discipline and passion, we can all sculpt our own destiny — one stroke at a time.
Some days you feel unstoppable — confident, calm, and fully yourself. Other days, it’s the opposite. Insecurity shows up without warning, and nothing feels right.
That’s normal. Insecurities are part of being human. They’re shaped by past experiences, social pressure, and the way we speak to ourselves.
