Hello
The artist behind RedPictus Fine Art is Bek Stobbart, an animal lover from the south-west of England. Bek shares a home with her own and her partner’s dogs as well as two cats!
My Story
I have been drawing and creating art from a very early age, and animals (particularly dogs!) have always been my favoured subjects. Over the years I have dabbled with drawing pencil portraits of dogs and the occasional digital art piece, but I began working with polymer clay in 2014 and that’s where RedPictus was born. I have a degree in animal science and I feel that my knowledge of anatomy really helped me to capture the distinctive body shapes of each dog breed and each individual. I have a good eye for shape and detail and I pride myself on my ability to capture the essence of a breed in my models despite their small size.
I have also spent some time working in other mediums – coloured pencil, pastel pencil, acrylic paints and acrylic inks, but I always find myself drawn back to sculpting. After discovering metal clays in 2021 my world opened up even more!
I currently work as an Ecologist - a varied role that takes me all over the country at all times of day and night! The rest of my time (when I am not taking care of the dogs of course!) is filled with working on my artwork.
