Welcome to my website. My name is Hannah Merson and I am an artist specialising in animal portraits and paintings. By using the links you can see my Biography, view examples of my work in the Galleries and find out How to commission a portrait of your own pet.  You can also view my Blog which I will update with commissions, new paintings and any other news.

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 both oils and pastels 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. 

 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!!
