About Alexa Taylor

I have always had a passion for drawing ever since I was a kid, but I had never learned painting. I was self taught at drawing, so one day last year, I decided to try to teach myself how to paint with watercolours. The first painting I did was of a dog, and I was really happy with the result! Around that time, I had binge watched all the seasons of Shark Tank, and it really made me want to start my own business. I decided to give it a try in the pet portrait business because I'm a huge animal lover and I was really happy with the watercolour dog painting I did. That's what I mainly do now, but I've recently expanded into painting wild animals. At the moment, I'm specifically focusing on animals from the African Savannah. I have always loved the animals from that part of the world, but it wasn't until I went on a safari in Kenya that they really inspired me. I already painted a lion, giraffe and elephant, but I'm planning to put a whole line out of African animals. My style is also very colourful because I think it makes the animal portraits really pop.
