Welcome to jc_artist’s online store, offering original, hand drawn art and animal illustrations.

I have recently had a baby girl, which has inspired my series of whimsical animal character drawings. Each artwork is a unique piece. I will be adding more artworks soon.


I am a children’s book author and illustrator, with a passion for nature and wildlife art.

My books include ‘After Dark – Creatures of the New Zealand Forest’, Scholastic and ‘The Frog Search’, Penguin Books. I have previously illustrated over 20 children’s books throughout my career. I love drawing wildlife and have also enjoyed teaching art and design.

Thank you for looking, I hope you enjoy my artworks.
