My name is Moira Court and I am an artist who mainly paints and draws animals and illustrates children’s books. I like to dabble in printmaking and one day hope to be really good at it. I also make the occasional felt creature when the fancy takes me. My work is mainly inspired by nature, conservation, folklore and folk art. I like using colour, pattern, simple shapes, some detailed fiddly little bits, big brush strokes, matt paint, charcoal, 2B pencils, ink and wax crayons for grown-ups.
Originally from the South West of England I now live in the Perth hills, Western Australia, which is nice although I miss badgers, hedgerows, primroses and clotted cream. And cold Christmases and snow.
This blog is about my creative life – news, work in progress, sketch book scribbles, inspiration – and more than a few other random things thrown in.
