Gillian specialises in painting and drawing animals, both wild and domestic, and buildings in watercolour, pencil and pen & ink. She has been painting and drawing since childhood and has over 16 years experience working with watercolour. Her passion for painting and drawing is only surpassed by her love of animals, especially the local wildlife and her dog, Sam. A more than willing participant in wildlife conservation, she regularly takes part in surveying the flora and fauna of Britain. She can frequently be found prowling the Border countryside in search of local wildlife to inspire her.
