Collection: Antonia Dennis

I was born in Shirley, Solihull but currently live on the Derbyshire border.

Having held a conventional job for most of my life it came as somewhat of a surprise to discover I could paint in 2014. I have now left full time office life to concentrate on my art. I paint mostly in acrylic and my forte is caricature animal portraits. To date, my paintings have been distributed across the UK with several finding their way to Australia and New Zealand.

I love animals and nature which is where most of my inspiration comes from. My art is vibrant and spontaneous, unaffected by external stimuli and, coupled with my quirky sense of humour, my paintings evoke a feeling of childhood innocence, so creating an escape for adults and children alike.

I'm often told my personality shines through in my creations. All I know is that if they make me smile, they'll make others smile… and a smile is definitely worth the canvas it’s painted on. After all, life shouldn’t be taken too seriously.
