Art and animal portraits
By Julia Pepler

Painting from the heart.
I've been an animal lover since I was a tiny girl.
Then, about 10 years ago, along came art.
So of course, animals were always going to be a major feature in my work.
At first, I painted pets for family and friends, often for charity. Now I paint for anyone and my work has travelled all over the world.
Working almost exclusively in oil, my animals are soft and touchable. Their eyes are particularly important, I always paint them first once I have mapped out my basic shapes.
I paint my animals how they make me feel.
I work on canvas, panels, and sometimes paper.
I support wildlife with art, donating originals and printed editions.
