About the Artist

I am a 32-year-old full time animal artist living in the beautiful city of York, in the UK, and working for clients around the world.

I currently share my life with my rescue border collie, Magpie, and previously owned pet rats for a number of years. I have been drawing animals for a long time, and my dog cartoons are familiar to thousands of people across the world through my internationally popular genetics website (http://www.doggenetics.co.uk). In January 2016 I started offering commissions to the public, and at the start of 2017 I left my day job in an office to concentrate on my art. So far, I haven't looked back!

My work includes both portraits and cartoons, and I work mostly in watercolour, gouache, and acrylic ink.

I also enjoy nature and dog photography, mostly as a hobby.

One of my other passions is vintage photographs, particularly those involving animals. I have a large collection of vintage dog photos, which I share regularly on my popular Facebook page Vintage Dog-A-Day.

Most of my work is through Facebook, so click here to follow Animal Art by Jess on Facebook and keep up with my latest commissions and new products
