Hi I’m Nancy

Welcome to my desk where I draw with a pencil in one hand- and usually a puppy on my lap

My drawing area is always full: dogs snoring, family popping in to say hello or sit down and chat, and coloured pencils scattered across my desk. It’s a bit chaotic… but it’s full of love. And that’s exactly what I draw, too. ❤️

I’m a colour pencil artist with a soft spot for tender moments in the wild- mama’s cuddling their babies, playful cubs, or that one quiet glance that says everything. while I draw all sorts of animals (dogs, cats, tigers, elephants, you name it) bears have my heart. Their strength, softness, and soulful eyes inspire me every time I sit down (you should see my inspire me file; I have SO many I want to draw)

My drawing area is a happy place. It’s usually filled with the gentle hum of life -three dogs (plus my daughter’s puppy) taking turns curling up on my lap while I work. Sometimes it’s peaceful chaos especially when two want up at once. And it’s just as often, my husband or one of my kids will wander in, sit down to chat while I work. It’s cozy, it’s full of love- and it’s where my art comes to life.

Every portrait I create is more than just a drawing- it’s a quiet story, a captured feeling, a moment of connection brought to life in coloured pencil. I aim to draw not just want animals look life, but who they are.

I draw moments that make you feel something.

What I believe:

• Art can slow down time & capture what matters most

• Animals teach us about unconditional love- and I aim to honour that

• Every drawing tells a story worth remembering

If my work brings a little warmth to your heart or makes you smile in that quiet, soul-deep kind way…then that’s everything I hope for.

Thanks for being here- it truly means more than you know (and I probably did a little happy dance when you showed up ❤️).

Now lets create something full of heart, one pencil stroke at a time
