KarlyMartine Art

SPECIALIST IN PET PORTRAITURE, LEAF AND BOTTLE PAINTING

ABOUT ME

My name is Karly-Martine and I am from the beautiful East Devon Coast!

I specialise in Pet and People Portraiture, and this is an area of my work which I absolutely adore. Being able to draw your beloved animals and family members is such a rewarding feeling, and there is nothing better than having the opportunity to re-create memories that will last a lifetime. I love to work with headshots, full body or can completely recreate a scene or a moment.

Working mainly with coloured and graphite pencils, I use the highest quality materials to ensure that your portraits will stay bright and bold for years to come, and by using acid-free mount frames, this also improves the longevity of your piece, as well as looking after our environment. Speaking of which, I aim to make sure every piece is wrapped and packaged with fully recyclable and eco-friendly materials. Doing my bit to look after our planet is something I am very passionate about, especially in regard to my business, so please re-use your packaging!

Although Pet portraits are my main area of business, I am also an avid painter, but rather than use the traditional canvas, I love to paint on leaves, or empty used bottles. Finding leaves for my paintings can only be done at a certain time of year, so it’s a very particular process, which makes them even more special and unique. No two leaves are the same after all! Please check out my gallery for more information on these and to have a nosey around.
Now for some informalities: Cats and coffee make my world go around. They are possibly the only two factors of my life that will never change, especially the coffee since becoming an Artist - you wouldn’t believe how many late nights are spent drawing.
So that’s it about me really! If you are interested in booking a commission of any kind, or just want to come and say hello, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.
