Megan Elizabeth loves to take inspiration from wild places and wildlife for her drawings. As a child she would take pencils and paper everywhere, filling sketchbook after sketchbook with animals, plants and countryside drawings and paintings. She adores capturing farm animals and horses as well as people’s beloved pets. Capturing the animal’s personality and heart is very important to her.

Megan mostly works in coloured pencils and pastels but she also enjoys trying other mediums from time to time.

He continued to paint for various clients including the NHS, and took private commissions whilst honing his illustrative talents. Since graduating in 2011, Stephen has exhibited in group shows in London, Switzerland, Africa and Dubai. During an extended trip to Africa’s Kwa-Zulu Natal, where Stephen stalked and studied animals in the remotest of regions, his long-term objectives to combine work with a love and respect for wildlife manifested themselves.
