Pals on Paper

Pals on Paper - Jackie Buckle

After many years away from the easel—raising a family and working full-time—I've returned to painting with renewed passion. Art gives me the perfect way to combine two of my greatest loves: animals and creativity.

I live in the Surrey Hills with my beautiful Finnish Lapphund, Kimmi, and for the last 10 years have volunteered with the Blue Cross Pet Loss Support Service, which has deepened my understanding of the special bond we share with our companion animals.

I work in acrylics and like to add colourful backgrounds to my paintings and try to choose backdrops that complement the character of the main subject in some way, whether that be cheeky, demure or something else!

I am a member of the Surrey Artists Association, the Society of Feline Artists and the Association of Animal Artists.
