A Little About Me.
How it all began...
After a career in banking, I took the opportunity to develop my passion in drawing and watercolours, becoming a freelance artist using my maiden name of Margaret Stevens.
Initially I undertook commissions for illustrated names for certain retailers. This helped me to create and expand a portfolio of nursery characters. I licensed various companies to use my artwork on wall coverings, soft furnishings and giftware primarily for the nursery market, selling worldwide.
​
Then after Covid I became an independent card publisher using some of my adorable characters and creating new ones, some of which are available as prints and also adorn items of giftware and homeware that are made in the UK.
​
I also accept commissions for watercolour portraits of people, dogs and houses.
Hand painted commissions for portraits
Bespoke keepsakes
Sentimental gifts
If you want to have a custom piece of art for your home or to give someone special, perhaps as an Anniversary gift/house warming/ a Birthday or for Christmas, why not commission a bespoke portrait in watercolours and ink?
​
If you're interested in a hand-painted watercolour & ink portrait in Essex or beyond, produced on high quality cold pressed paper, then simply email me with your enquiry.
I will require at least 2 good quality photographs of your property,
special person/s or pet which will be used as the basis of the artwork.
I have painted a range of home images including town and country locations mainly in A5 and A4 sizes.
