Kym Styles

Kim Styles, born in London but raised in the countryside in Eastern and northern England, is a successful commercial artist and has sold paintings across the world.

Kim discovered from an early age that she had a creative and artistic flair and was greatly encouraged by her family to develop her talent.

Her speciality is pet portraits by commission. She is often asked how she created her drawings, and how she managed to capture the animal's personality so well, and this led her to being invited to write this book.

She has also illustrated children's books for other authors.

Kim is passionate about animal welfare and lives in West Yorkshire, UK with her husband and two rescue dogs.
