Such sentiments encapsulate the very essence of what I aim to achieve with my art—immersing the viewer in warmth and familiarity. Another client, Isobel, who commissioned a graphite memorial piece of their in-laws beloved dog, shared:
"Gillie did the most wonderful drawing of my in-laws much missed dear Smudge , for their Golden Wedding Anniversary. They were blown away and it’s now framed and hanging in their living room. She also did my horse, Lofty and it is absolutely BREATHTAKING !!! Her attention to detail is second to none!!"

The Heartbeat of Creation: Our Artistic Process
At The Curate's Egg, each stroke of a pencil holds the promise of transformation. The artistic process is a delicate dance between imagination and technique, where the mundane is turned into the extraordinary with the simple flick of wrist. Here, I invite you to delve into the various techniques I employ in crafting these unique artworks. From the crisp precision of graphite to the vibrant hues of coloured pencils, every medium used tells a story of dedication and passion. As an artist I meticulously plan each piece, ensuring that every commissioned artwork resonates with the personal touch that my clients deserve. I understand that art is not just about the end product; it is about the journey of creation—the hours spent refining each detail, the careful consideration that goes into all choices, and the love for artistry that permeates every session. Join me in this exploration of my creative methods, and learn how I breathe life into inanimate materials, forging connections that last a lifetime.
The Beauty of Graphite
Graphite and charcoal are the beloved foundations—classic mediums that carry a charm all of their own. By manipulating varying pressures and techniques, I create a depth and richness that captures shadows and highlights, lending a three-dimensional feel to flat surfaces. Every pencil and charcoal sketch begins with a vision, a flurry of ideas transformed into lines that speak volumes.
A Symphony of Colours
In contrast to the monochromatic allure of graphite, coloured pencils usher in a vibrant spectrum, inviting imagination to take flight. It is an artists undertaking to be well-versed in blending techniques that allow colours to harmonize beautifully, creating seamless gradients and striking contrasts. Each layer adds dimension and vitality, making every completed piece a visual feast that awakens the senses.
Commissioned Art: A Personalised Experience
Commissioning a piece from The Curate's Egg is more than just a transaction; it's a collaborative venture. I firmly believe in fostering relationships with my clients, ensuring that their vision is at the heart of my creation. Regular consultations and progress updates keep the dialogue flowing and allow us to weave personal stories and sentiments into the artwork, resulting in a truly unique masterpiece.
The Journey: Beyond the Artwork
The artistic process is as much about patience and perseverance as it is about creativity. As the artist at The Curate's Egg I embrace the challenges that come with the territory, learning and growing with every piece created. Even amid frustration, there lies beauty in the journey—the evolution of an idea, the unexpected surprises along the way, and the satisfaction derived from overcoming obstacles. You are invited to witness this journey; every artwork encapsulates not just the final results, but the heart and soul of the artist.
