About.
Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Kerry Martin and I'm an independent artist based in Colchester, UK.
​
My subjects are predominantly animals, which I render in watercolour paint. Having always loved animals and nature I am constantly inspired by the animals I encounter on our frequent dog walks and those living in Colchester zoo.
​
I always strive to capture the character and innocence of the animals in my art work, carefully building the layers of paint to bring each piece to life and to awaken a kindness and compassion from my viewers.
​
Art has always been a passion of mine and I feel so grateful to be able to share my work with all of you.
​
I have been fortunate enough to have had works displayed in numerous locations in Essex and recently had a piece exhibit on the main stage of Vegfest UK in London.
​
When I'm not creating new art or products, you will find me at home surrounded by my rescue dogs whilst enjoying a good book.

Bespoke pet portraits/
Commissions process.
Pet portraits make wonderful gifts for pet owners. For many of us our pets are our best friends. A portrait of your pet is a wonderful keepsake for yourself or gift for a friend or family member.
As I work from photography it is also possible for me to include multiplet pets in one painting.
Many of my commissioned pet portraits are for beloved pets that have passed. With a good quality photo to work from I can create a comforting keepsake of your beloved friend.
