PASTELS AND ME .....
The first time that I picked up pastels I realised that they were definitely the medium for me! They seemed to add a certain magic to the quality (and enjoyment) of my work. I experimented by painting a couple of portraits of work colleagues free of charge and within a very short time, people I had never met began to offer me money for paintings of themselves, their children and pets. I became a professional artist from that point on and have never looked back!
For variety, I decided to branch out into figure paintings (mainly nudes), which I sold through galleries in Surrey (England) and London. Soon after this, I moved to a coastal city, where I felt inspired, by the sea, to paint fantasy paintings of Mermaids and Mermen. These also turned out to be very popular, both in London and East Sussex.
I now offer original portrait paintings worldwide, on commission, as well as signed prints of my mermaids, mermen and nudes. I love painting animal portraits, so I charge less for these.
I hope that you like my work. If you do, please get in touch with me so we can discuss exactly what you're looking for. I will consider any commissions that I feel lend themselves to my particular style of pastel painting.
I look forward to realising your portrait dreams ....

""Just to let you know that Sally and I took the portrait of Max in to be framed. We were blown away - it is absolutely fabulous, thank you soooooo much. It's much bigger than the portraits you did of my 3 beauties in 1992. I'm attempting to chivvy Tom and Caroline to get the photos of their 2 sorted !! Thank you again you clever lady.""

""I would like to thank Juliet at JCK Pastel Portraits for meeting all my expectations with this glorious portrait of Ginny. You have captured the essence of her and your talent is worthy of a greater exposure. Fantastic job Juliet.""

Caroline D, hebden Bridge on 29 March 2015
"When I saw Juliet's portrait of myself I was taken aback by her skill and artistry. She had previously done a painting of my partner, from photographs and she had captured him so well it took my breath away, it was almost three dimensional and it WAS him, the love of my life, it made me cry"
David Anthony Kennedy [Hebden Bridge] on 12 March 2015
"We are both delighted with Tasha's portrait, it had to be hung as soon as I got home, which is what I expected. It has pride of place on the fireplace wall and looks really good against the Yorkshire stonework. There are now 2 paintings leaning against the wall ready to be re-hung."
