"Smiles are the Colour of Nature" and if you like your nature colourful you're in the right place.

"I love BeeFoxTree's designs! So far I've ordered a custom mug for my work colleague at Christmas (which she loves!) and a wonderful pet portrait of my cat Boo (which is going on a dress so I can go full Crazy Cat Lady)!
"Wonderful designs, great quality and fabulous to work with. I can't recommend her highly enough." Josie Lawton

​
I've been drawing wildlife for as long as I can remember. I have sketches of foxes and squirrels from when I was 9 years old and I'm reliably informed I declared my intention to become an artist when I was mearly 4 years old.
​
I joined every possible after-school art class, studied Foundation Art and Design at Manchester Metropolitan University, then went on to earn a BA(hons) Degree in Graphic Design.
​
For over a decade I worked in a corporate environment designing for print and web before breaking free to begin my own independent design business, BeeFoxTree Ltd.
​
Every animal illustration and pet portrait is lovingly crafted over several days in my studio in the heart of Manchester's artistic Northern Quarter.
​
Each creation begins as a calligraphy style brush-stroke outline, which I then carefully stroke by stoke add colour to using block colour and dotty details. Colourful and pop arty in style I capture the character and likeness of the creature or pet companion in a memorable and unusual style.
​
Most designs are available with the 5 signature colour backgrounds for you to choose from, or you can contact me with a colour swatch have them customised to suit your personal style and décor.
​
If you would like to add a message or dedication to any of my existing designs, or are thinking about commissioning your own pet portrait please use the contact form to send me your questions. I love creating custom pieces so get in touch and we'll discuss your requirements!
