Biography
 
Desiree was born in Orpington Kent and now lives on the South Coast in West Sussex, England.

She has always had a passion for wildlife Art and photography.  The reference material for her projects are gathered on location through sketching and photography.  Many trips to Africa has given her a wonderful collection of big game images to work with.  Desiree says that our English wildlife and countryside is a continuous source of inspiration and her aim is to capture that special moment in time and recreate it in a painting or photograph.

The Art of Chinese Brush Painting has remained a favourite and in particular the 'Meticulous' style.  This style of painting is a careful, realistic technique that incorporates the most intricate detail and vivid colour to describe narrative scenes.   Using Silk (* Desiree uses Eri silk and Rice paper )
Her Meticulous paintings are much sort after and collectable.  She is happy to chat about the process of this painting style.

​Desiree has won many awards for her work and has been 5 times selected for the David Shepherd wildlife Artist of the year.  Her work is collected as far as Australia.  She exhibits at Country Show and Fairs - Art society exhibitions and Festivals.  Please see her events calendar for updates on pending shows.
