Jamie Boots

Originally from New Zealand, Jamie Boots is a self taught artist whose work is produced in graphite pencil. The finest detail is achieved by etching fur or skin texture into the paper and then working over the top of it with darker tones of pencil. A large number of photographs are taken with up to ten pictures being used to create the composition of the drawing whilst also trying to capture The individual personality of the animal to be drawn.
Jamie Boots first exhibited his work in 2004 and has won a number of awards for his artwork. In a very short period of time a hobby became a profession and with a limited number of originals being available each year his drawings have become highly collectable. Many of Jamie’s pictures are available as Limited Edition prints in galleries throughout the UK.
