A Little About Me

Hi, I’m Nancy! When I’m not lost in a good book or drawing at my desk; you’ll find me surrounded by the people (and pups!) I love most.

Life around here is full—in the best way. I’m a proud wife, mom, and gigi, and my days are often spent in the beautiful busyness of family life. But no matter how full things get, I always make time to draw.

Because drawing? That’s my happy place. It’s where I slow down, reconnect with myself, and pour love into every pencil stroke.

Whether it’s capturing the sweet nuzzle of a mama bear and her cub, or bringing a beloved pet to life on paper, this little creative space is where my heart feels most at home.

Custom Pet Portraits that hold their soul

Want to turn your pet’s personality into a one-of-a-kind keepsake? I’m currently accepting a limited number of commissions. Whether they are still curled up ant your feet or forever held in your heart, your pet deserves to be remembered in a way that feels true.

Each piece is hand-drawn with care in my colour pencil style— that capture their personality, spirit and the love that made them yours.

If you would like to commission a portrait I would be honoured to create one for you.

Hey there!

🐾 Welcome to My Wild Little World

I’m so glad you’re here. This is where soft pencil strokes meet soulful animal stories—capturing love, connection, and those quiet moments that speak volumes.

Whether it’s a mama bear wrapped around her cub, a dog mid-laugh, or a tiger sharing a tender glance with her baby, my art is all about feeling. These drawings are my way of celebrating the deep bond between animals and the ones they love—drawn slowly, intentionally, and with a whole lot of heart.

You’ll find cozy glimpses of my studio life here too—dogs snuggled in my lap while I draw, pencils scattered across the desk, and joy woven into every piece. It’s a bit of a juggling act but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I love my fur babies. With my pencils all spread out in front of me (in a system that looks messy but totally works!) my book playing and puppy snores in the background- its my happy place.

Pious

I recently had the pleasure of commissioning a drawing from Nancy, of my dog Pious. She created a beautiful portrait of my dog, Pious and the level of detail and emotion in the artwork is simply incredible. The final piece not only showcases Pious’s personality but also serves as a cherished keepsake in my home. If you’re looking for unique and heartwarming art that celebrates our furry friends, or a beloved animal, I highly recommend Nancy. Her work is a true testament to her skill and love for animals

Penguin Family

When I opened the present of the penguins drawing. I immediately wanted to cry. The drawing was absolutely beautiful. I love the way that it represents my family and my love of penguins.

Koala Bear
Oxen Pair

This commission is exceptional. Every detail feels deliberate and alive, and the two oxen’s personalities are captured so beautifully, one calm and steady, the other quietly curious. Beyond the technical skill, the piece carries real warmth and care. It feels personal, thoughtful, and deeply respectful of its subjects. An outstanding work that exceeded every expectation.
