Pastel and Colour Pencil Artist

My inspiration comes from my love of animals, no matter how big or small, fluffy or feathery. My drawings aim to capture each individual personality.

Welcome to Abby Winter Fine Art

Hello! I am Abby, an artist from West Sussex, UK. I studied Fine Art at Bath Spa University where I painted portraits (you can see this in my Portrait Gallery). I started my colour pencil journey in November 2023 and branched out to pastel pencils at the start of 2025. I am also animal mad (and a proud cat mum) so it only seem fitting that I draw animals. From birds and bees to cats and dogs, I will draw all animals, feathered or fury. No matter what I am drawing, I always aim to capture an accurate likeness and bring each animal to life on the paper.

Custom Pet Portraits

Celebrate your pets with a custom hand-drawn portrait, created with care and attention to detail using colour pencil or pastel pencil. I offer personalised pet portraits that capture the unique personality of your furry friend, turning your favorite photo into a lasting keepsake. Each drawing is a labor of love, taking between 25–40 hours to complete.

As a proud cat mum, I know how important our pets are to us. I strive to create realistic pet portraits so people can cherish their pets forever.

  • William Lind

    “I bought my first picture from Abby when she was fifteen. A wonderfully executed small canvas of two monkeys, it captures perfectly the tension between their opposing feelings of excitement and nervousness at meeting strangers. I feel it is a good metaphor for many in society.”

  • Mick Conway

    “I am the proud owner of two early paintings by Abby and more recently bought her wonderful painting of my daughter Bridie as a present which now hangs in pride of place in her house. (Girl With The Hidden Earring)
    Large scale, while also extraordinarily subtle and delicate, Abby’s art is astonishingly accomplished for someone so young. Buy now, while you can still afford her!”

  • Laura Page

    “The detail on the painting (Poppy and Daisy) is outstanding, right down to every perfect imperfection on their faces! I have spent hours just staring at the hairs on their heads.”
