Introducing Mary Herbert, animal and portrait artist... I’m a full time professional artist working in Leicestershire, who specialises in pastel portraits. I love to paint animals, especially horses and dogs, and I’m always happy to consider commissioned portrait work of any animal or person. Here on my website, you can discover more about me and my art in the ‘Insight’ section, or simply browse my horse pictures, dog pictures, and other commissioned artwork in the galleries. If you’re looking for a special gift or treat, please visit the shop, where you can buy original artwork online, as well as cards and limited edition prints. If you’d like to discuss commissioning a portrait, have any comments to make, or there is anything you’d like to ask me that isn’t in the information section, please feel free to contact me.

Visit me at the Burghley Country Fair at Burghley House, Stamford, Lincs over the May bank holiday weekend (3rd-5th). I’ll be demonstrating a pastel painting and selling cards and prints; also I’ll be happy to chat with anyone interested in commissioning a portrait.

The Patchings Art Craft and Design Festival is a wonderful annual event for anyone who enjoys art.  This year, I will be there in the Artists’ Marquee, demonstrating my pastel painting techniques. I will also have prints and original paintings on display and for sale. The Festival runs from 5 - 8 June 2008, open 10am to 5pm at Patchings Art Centre, Calverton, Notts. For more info click here
