Maker’s Choice – Rebecca Ozkural

My name is Rebecca Ozkural and I am an artist specialising in pastel paintings of wildlife and Pets. I draw the inspiration for my paintings from my great love of animals and nature.

I was born in Canada and grew up in the mountains, surrounded by nature and natural beauty. I grew to have a deep respect and love for all the animals I was surrounded by-be it the many pets I had the joy to call my own or the wild birds, bears, moose, wolves and other great wildlife I would encounter on a regular basis.

I strive to capture the spirit and personality of every animal I paint. Only the highest quality materials go into my products, from the pastels and paper used to paint the original works to the locally made giclee prints.
You can purchase A3 or A4 prints of my works which would make a great gift for loved ones. I also sell cards of my prints which are on luxurious card stock and make lovely Christmas cards to give your friends and family.

I offer commissions if you would like to get an original painting of your beloved family pet, and my original wildlife paintings are also available for purchase if you would like to own some original artwork.

I love this painting of this little plumbeous water redstart. This little bird has a lot of personality and I'm quite proud I was able to capture his attitude and movement.

For me inspiration always comes from nature-and luckily London is teeming with gorgeous parks. I love to go for early morning walks in Regents Park and I spend a lot of time there watching the various birds. If I am lucky I might spot one of London's many foxes, and of course it's always enjoyable to greet the dogs their early morning walks.

Rebecca is at Homeworks on Sunday 9 December.
