I love to paint ACEO art cards of cats & other animals

I have a degree in Design & illustration from Sunderland University where I specialised in Natural History Illustration. These days my work is mostly whimsical in style (a lot different from my days in Natural History Illustration) and reminiscent of children’s book illustrations.

As well as creating traditional artwork with paints I like to dabble in vector illustration and pattern design. I love painting cutesy animals, especially kitty cats and other furry critters and when I’m not being creative you’ll often find me playing jRPGs, gardening, expanding my postcard collection or trying to crochet!

Being naturally small in stature myself, and with limited wall space at home, I gravitated towards producing original art and illustration which are equally as small, but most importantly, affordable! The work I produce is rarely larger than 10″ x 8″ with the majority of what I paint being either ACEO art cards (2.5″ x 3.5″) or around 5″ square. I always sign my artwork on the front using my initials, LMR, and I sign using my full name on the back along with information about the artwork.
