kirstie anstee art

I am an artist based in beautiful North Devon.
I live with my family, black labrador, Mabel, and cat, Monty. I have a degree in Graphic Arts and Illustration, from the Ruskin College of Art in Cambridge, and have almost twenty years experience working in the industry. I have always loved drawing, animals and the countryside around me, and I hope this shows in my work.

Although the pieces of work shown on my website are all drawings of dogs, I am happy to draw any animal - I am currently working on a cow and, following that, a beautiful cat. I am currently building up my gallery as I have been concentrating on looking after my children, but now they are at school its time to get my easel out again, and hopefully as time goes on, I will be drawing a wider variety of subjects.

Prices start from £95 for an unframed original pastel drawing. Pastel is my favourite media - I usually work on thick brown paper as it is lovely surface for my beloved pastels, which my late grandfather used to use, and then gave to me. 

Working in pastels on what is usually recycled paper means I can keep the cost of my work reasonable.
