With Be My Valentine, I wanted to step away from detailed realism and embrace something rough, expressive, and a little mischievous. This piece captures the raw and exaggerated emotions of love through two quirky, almost grotesque faces, baring toothy grins and wide, manic eyes. The humorous contrast between the title and the unsettling yet oddly endearing expressions is meant to poke fun at traditional romantic gestures. It’s inviting the viewer to laugh and enjoy the imperfect chaos of affection, especially when you are uncertain as to which character is uttering the words.   The price you see is the price you pay.

Beau showcases the watchful and protective essence typical of a Boxer. In this artwork, I've sought to capture her alert posture and keen, attentive eyes, but also her constant expression of melancholy. The warm tones of her coat, set against a vibrant blue background, emphasize her alertness and readiness to protect. Her noble and endearing demeanour, reflects the breed's well-known loyalty and bravery. Beau not only highlights her protective instincts, but also her role as a loving companion, when engaging with her brindle sister Maisie. The price you see is the price you pay.

Say hello to Clyde, an intimate portrait of an orangutan rendered in pastel pencils. His soulful eyes, framed by the intricate textures of his weathered face and wild hair, seem to tell a lifetime of stories. I aimed to capture not just the details of his physical features, but the quiet wisdom and emotional depth these remarkable creatures possess. You are invited here to see the unique personality behind Clyde's deep dark eyes. You might well find that the longer you look at him, the more you'll get the feeling that he knows more about you, than you know about yourself?! The price you see is the price you pay.

Looking more like a Pointillist painting, this is the elephant, Eli. In this piece, I wanted to capture the soul and quiet wisdom of one of nature’s most majestic creatures. Using pastel pencils, I worked to highlight the intricate textures of Eli's skin, the delicate patterns that seem to tell a story of strength, resilience, and grace. The colours and fine details were inspired by the beauty of these elephants in the wild, and their enduring presence. I saw this as an opportunity to convey Eli’s gentle spirit and the awe he inspires. I hope this piece brings a sense of calm and connection to anyone who views it, with the sense that the closer you are to his head, the closer you are to his mind.
