About me ...................
My name is Ingrid Mayes and I am an artist specialising in portraits of animals, babies & children. I work in mainly in pencil, coloured pencil & pastel for portraiture but I also paint in acrylic, watercolour & oils. I paint a wide variety of subjects including my fictional village of Bickinghall which I felt inspired to paint after visiting some lovely villages in the UK tracing my family history.
I have a particular passion for painting horses having been a fan of
horses and anything to do with horses for as long as I can remember.
When I get free painting time inbetween commissions, I will generally
be drawn towards painting something horsey.
I have been taking commissions for pet portraits for over 30 years and have more recently added portraits of children & babies to my portfolio after being persuaded
by a friend to draw her sons.
Portraits are drawn from your photographs which can be emailed to me
ACEO's
'ACEO' stands for 'Artists Cards, Editions & Originals'. They are
minature works of art measuring 2.5 x 3.5" and can be of any subject
and in any medium. There are many people who collect ACEO's and
the display them in folders or boxes or frame them for display in the
normal way. I mostly sell my ACEO's on Ebay.
Please take a look at a selection of my work on my gallery page.
