My name is Bethany, I’m 24 years old and live in the Midlands, UK. I have a little corgi and have always grown up with dogs and other animals, for me a house is not a home without a dog!

Animals are a massive passion for me, I was the horse mad kid in primary school and always had animal facts to tell anyone that would listen to me!

I loved traditional artwork during secondary school and sixth form, but I dived into digital artwork for university, where I got a first in Concept Art for Games and Film. I decided that wasn’t the industry for me and after taking a break from art I found my love for traditional graphite portraits. I funnelled my passion into capturing an animal and their personality using graphite pencils, enjoying the process of taking it from a piece of blank paper to someones beloved pet staring back at them.
