About the artist

Heather Irvine is a professional equestrian, canine and wildlife artist working from her base in the south west of England. She specialises in portrait commissions and custom model horses of Hiart Studios with an emphasis on producing as life-like an image as possible in 2-d and 3-d alike.

She is also an accomplished wildlife artist producing large scale charcoals and oils depicting African, American and British wildlife. Her work has been exhibited in England, South Africa and Botswana where she was lucky enough to see at first hand many of the subjects she depicts. This work, in contrast to her tighter photographic portrait portrayals, is based around the senses and emotions and has it's roots firmly planted in expression and impression - loose brushwork and energetic strokes.
