Wonderful work Alexandra . Posted @withregram • @alexandrasmithdrawings It’s March so it means it is#marchmeetthemaker #meetthemaker ! Day 1 -Story 📚 So, I am Alex! Hello 👋🏼 I really found my passion for drawing during my time in the Australian Outback, when I’d draw the children’s horses for them to colour in. I then went to Uni in Nottingham #uptheTrent to study law, where alongside my studies I’d create graphite drawings for friends just to be able to fund my nights out! Fast forward to graduating with the hopes of becoming a solicitor - I’m sure a lot of you know what happened next - I was run over by a speeding drug driver, so as well as flattening me, squished my dreams of a career in law. I used art as a therapy for my brain and my hand, and now, 2 years later, I have a purpose, and I am loving being able to say that putting pastel pencil to paper and creating lifelike portraits of people’s pets is my job! . . . #alexandrasmithdrawings #meetthemakerweek #meettheartist #animalart #animalartist #animalportrait #animalportraiture #animalportraitartist #equineart #equineartist #equinedrawing #equineportrait #horsedrawing #horseart #petportrait #petportraitartist #pastelpencil #pastelpencils #ukcps #ukcolouredpencilsociety #fabercastellpitt #dressagehorse #spaniel #spanielportrait #spanielartist #elephant #elephantart https://www.instagram.com/p/B9O8LnFhBz-/?igshid=10hc3a9dn54c6
