Welcome to my website. My name is Hannah Merson and I am a professional artist specialising in Animal Portraits. I have always been an animal lover having been brought up on Exmoor and spending many hours working in stables, farms and vets!  

 

I paint in pastels on velour paper and my ultimate aim is to make the viewer of my portraits believe they could actually reach out and touch the animal in front of them.

 

By using the links on the left of this page you can see my biography, view examples of my work and find out how to commission a portrait of your own pet.  

 

I hope you enjoy viewing my artwork and please feel free to contact me should you wish to commission a portrait or have any other query. I look forward to hearing from you!!
