Draw Your Pet - Pet Portraits is the work of Marney Merrett who lives in Suffolk, East Anglia in England.
Embarking upon a sabbatical to pursue her artistic interests in 2008, Marney attended courses to further develop skills in drawing and painting including: Heatherley's School of Fine Art (London), Slade School of Fine Art, (London), Central Saint Martins (London).
In 2013 she moved to Lowestoft where she found a studio focusing on portraiture. Her portraits have been selected for the Institute of East Anglian Artists for its Annual Open Exhibition in both 2015 and 2016. Also in 2016 she had a painting short-listed for judging of the BP Portrait Award.
In 2014 friends commissioned an oil painting of their beloved cat who sadly had passed. Marney found the challenge of capturing the personality and likeness of their much loved pet an enjoyable one. From here began a love of drawing pets began.
In 2017 Marney moved to a new studio in Henstead from where she now works.
"Each pet is entirely different," Marney says "I want to capture that unique personality."
"I look forward to offering a professional service and high standard of drawing of your special pet."
