JEANNETTE HAZELL

I am a UK-based pastel artist with a deep love for animals, nature and architectural charm. I began drawing daily during the 2020 lockdown and have since created over 300 original works, specialising in soft pastel. My passion lies in capturing the spirit and characters of animals- whether it's the glint in a dog's eye or the vibrant feathers of a tropical bird.

My work is rooted in observation, emotion and storytelling. Each piece is built slowly, layer by layer, using professional-grade pastels and Clairefontaine pastelmat card, a professional paper to ensure richness of colour and longevity.

Alongside original artworks, I accept commissions for pet portraits and bespoke pieces - bringing your loved animals or favourite places to life in pastel. I'm always happy to collaborate with clients to create meaningful, personal artwork.

Thank you for supporting independent artists.

Artistic background

Jeannette Bilton is a UK-based pastel artist known for her expressive use of colour, gentle textures, and imaginative compositions. Originally from a background in market research and data analysis, Jeannette rediscovered her artistic voice during the quiet of the 2020 lockdown. What began as a daily drawing habit quickly flourished into a vibrant body of work spanning wildlife, landscapes, architecture, and surreal dreamscapes.

Specialising in soft pastel on paper, Jeannette’s pieces range from delicate studies of koi fish to whimsical fairy-tale villages and thought-provoking fantasy scenes. Her work often blends observation with imagination, inviting viewers into both real and invented worlds.

With over 300 original pieces to her name, Jeannette is now focused on sharing her art more widely through exhibitions, online galleries, and print collections. She brings not only technical skill but also a sense of warmth, humour, and storytelling to each piece.

Whether capturing a moment in nature or creating a world entirely her own, Jeannette’s art is grounded in joy, curiosity, and a deep love of colour.
