A bit about me...

Hi I'm Pia,
I’m a pen and ink artist based on the stunning Dorset coast in the UK. Nestled in my rural home studio, amidst its flourishing wildlife, I find endless inspiration for my works.
My deep rooted love for nature blossomed during my travels and exploration of the local outdoors, fostering a profound appreciation for the beauty of wildlife. Seeking solace from the rigours of college, I stumbled upon a therapeutic outlet in doodling with fine ink pens, inspired by my fascination for mandalas. Little did I know, those initial sketches would evolve into the foundation of my artist journey.
As a devoted animal lover, I find immense joy in capturing the essence and personalities of my subject through years of experimentation and refinement. My unique style explores the juxtaposition between patterned regularity and the irregular animal form. Each piece is a labour of love, meticulously crafted to evoke a sense of appreciation for the beauty of wildlife.
Today I showcase my works at exhibitions and in a selection of galleries and independent shops across the UK. Alongside my original artwork I offer a range of limited edition prints and bespoke greetings cards. I host mindful drawing workshops where I pass on drawing techniques, as well as finding immense pleasure in crafting bespoke commission work, with my degree in textiles design allowing me to take on a wide variety of special projects. The application of my style is truly limitless!
