Onnie is a self taught West Country artist, who started drawing from an early age, and now specialises in coloured pencil portraits of animals.
Her favourite subjects are horses, dogs(Springer Spaniels in particular) and wolves. Although, over the years she has completed portraits of a wide variety of animals and birds.
She has been associated with The UK Wolf Conservation Trust near Reading since 2002, and over the years has completed portraits of all their resident wolves.
For pet portraits, Onnie works from good, close up photographs, and usually needs at least two months to complete a portrait, so, please allow plenty of time if it is for a special birthday or anniversary.

Customer comments
"Thank you so much for the portraits of our Springers "Woody" & "Lexie", they are absolutely delightful, you have captured then both just right. Barry was bowled over when I presented them to him on his Birthday. They now have pride of place in our lounge. Thank you again."
