Fitzsimmons Pamela

I am a mainly self taught artist who started painting watercolour landscapes thirty years ago after a friend persuaded me to try painting as a hobby.

A few years ago I was asked to do a portrait of a pet dog and reluctantly agreed to give it a try although I had not attempted to paint animals before. The painting was a success and this aroused my interest in the subject of animal portraiture and I now specialises in animal studies using pastel as my favourite medium for this subject. I also enjoys figurative drawing and painting.

Some of my small landscape paintings are included in private collections across the world:- in America, Canada, Mexico, France and the Oman.

I have become more interested in colour pencil recently and have attempted a variety of subjects, some of which are in the exhibition. I am still doing animals, in both Pastel and Coloured Pencils, but mainly for commissions now.

Many of my animal paintings, and other subjects, have been reproduced on the cards which I have for sale at the exhibition.
