Hello!
Iām Tessa. A painter and illustrator currently based in Norwich.
I work in the traditional paint medias of watercolour and oil, and enjoy the occasional ink or digital drawing too. The personalities of wildlife and pets are some of my favourite subjects to capture.
I offer pet portrait commissions all year round here
