My name is Dawn Owen and I started painting pets a couple of
years ago, after getting our Labrador, Charlie. I used to paint landscapes and
seascapes as a hobby but after moving from Anglesey in North Wales to
Worcestershire, life got busy, work was stressful, and I didn’t have time to
paint. So after 25 years working for the NHS, I realised that I needed to change
my work-life balance and gave up the day job! I now spend my days painting,
doing a bit of other freelance stuff (yep, there are bills to pay!) and most
importantly, enjoying time with Charlie – usually walking him on the beautiful
Malvern Hills.
