Unique and Exquisite Artworks
Pet Portraits and Wildlife.
Hi, I’m Terry, an illustrator and designer of pet portraits and wildlife.
I'm based in the Midlands of the UK.
I grew up in South Africa where I was amongst wildlife and animals on a daily basis. Looking after all sorts of creatures, ranging from birds, snakes, rabbits,
guinea pigs, cats and plenty of dogs. It was an idyllic childhood.
I moved to the UK when I was 17 years old and went on to study Graphic Design at Loughborough University. The next 25 years I was fortunate to be able to illustrate and design children's books, working for some high focus individuals.
However, my passion for pets and wildlife led me to become more creative
with my first love, animals.
All animals are unique and I love bringing these individual personalities to life through art.
My pet commissions have included large and small characters.
Designs and artwork, I feel very fortunate to have such a wonderful, imaginative career.
Please have a look at my website and do get in touch if you have any questions.
If you are looking to have a portrait done of your dearest furry friend, or any other commissions, please get in touch.
My love of wildlife has taken me around the world to see these amazing animals. To be able to draw them has been an honour. Both commission work and prints are available.
Have a look at the different illustrated books I've worked on over the years.
