Collection: Em Sherlock

I'm originally from Norfolk in the UK and have always had a passion for animals. I grew up alongside various pets, from the traditional dogs and cats to the not so traditional terrapins and pet mice and rats that my brother looked after!

My obsession with animals lead me to gaining a Veterinary Degree from the Royal Veterinary College of London in 2013 and since then I have primarily worked in Equine Practice. In 2017 I made the move to New Zealand where I am based with my partner Alec, our Daughter Zala, a Vizla called Artie, a pointer called Scout and a horse called Asti. Not to forget the 200 other beef cattle and 600 odd sheep on the farm too along with all the other beautiful native and wild animals! 

It was the Covid lockdown in 2020 that gave me the time to pick up my pencils and paintbrushes again. Since then I have been drawing pets for friends and taking on various commissions whether they be landscapes or portraits. My main passion is drawing Dogs, Horses and general wildlife but I will consider any subject in various different mediums. I love a challenge! The majority of my artwork is in graphite or coloured pencils but I also paint with Oils and watercolours.
