About | Dondons Doodles Artist.

The Artist.

I am a self-self-taught, emerging, gallery artist based in Worcestershire.

I studied art at G.C.S.E level, but, only scrapped through with a 'D ' pass and discouraged from retaking my exam. It was the end of the road for my artistic journey and I took a different career path, until...

... the summer of 2023, when I picked up the pencils again, to the delight of my family and friends, who encouraged me to share my artwork onto social media, hence Dondons Doodles was born.

I have a fondness for the natural world, whether it be water, land or wildlife. Light, reflections and colour play a huge part into my artwork too.

I pride myself with being able to draw free hand and after working with pencils, I soon found pastels, which I enjoy working with and found them great for pet/wildlife portraits. This is where I first began and my artwork ' Not All Black And White....', still remains one of my most popular artworks. It has now been printed onto quality giclee prints and sold in galleries around the UK, as well as my website, (look at Studio Shop in the menu).

In the summer of 2024, I tried painting with acrylic. Now, I'm developing my painting skills, by using palette knives and love the texture they give to a painting.

I am still developing my skills as an artist, learning on the job, as being an artist is now my full time occupation, but feel I am learning quickly and doing really well, as I am already exhibiting in galleries around the UK and already achieved my first solo exhibition too! I am excited for the future. As well as producing artwork for galleries, I also take on commissions and have online shops too, (look on Studio Shop and Giftware Store on the menu). I also use my talents to help charities. (Look on charities on the menu).

I am now a member of A-N for artists.

I am now a member of Association of animal artists.
