Introducing Mary Herbert, animal and portrait artist... I’m a full time professional artist 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 portrait galleries.
