About

Purebred Editions began because of Lucy, my sweet and beautiful Golden Retriever. Every day I had her, we played at the beach, walked among the shops, and enjoyed being young and free together.

She was absolutely perfect, despite her one
dangerous addiction: tennis balls. I could try to play fetch with her, but throw a tennis ball and I’d never get it back.

I painted her portrait featuring a tennis ball, called Persistence, and hung it for the world to see. From there, I fell in love with painting all sorts of dogs, from my beloved Lucy to labradors to everything in between – and even a stray cat here and there.

I’ve been a lifelong painter, and an animal lover for even longer. It was a true joy to bring them together with this print series.

These prints and paintings have won many esteemed national and international awards, which I am grateful for, but much more importantly, they have brought happiness into the homes of people who know that animals are people too.
