I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, concentrating mostly on wildlife and pet portraits. I am passionate about animal welfare and this is often reflected in my subject choice. Over the years I have had the privilege to work in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation and this has led to a deep understanding and respect for animals in their natural environment. I have taken on many animals that have been ill or abandoned and this has meant that I have gone through the terrible grief of losing them, sometimes not very long after they have come into my life. Each one has been an absolute joy and they have taught me so much. I love to help others find a way of honouring their furred or feathered companions through unique portraits that will be treasured forever. I also offer memorial pieces with the option of a subtle rainbow in the background or with the addition of wings to the animal, symbolising their new life on the other side. My original works and prints can be viewed and purchased in my Etsy shop, SusanHammondArtist. I accept a limited number of commissions each year, please get in touch if you would like to discuss an idea for some artwork. susanhammond170@gmail.com. My prices start from £250 for an A4 size portrait.
