Drawing and Illustrating Architecture

She works in a variety of mediums, including Indian ink pen, pencil, watercolour, and gold leaf on paper. Each piece takes many hours to complete.Demi lives in the countryside in a small village in West Berkshire, UK, where she works as a full-time artist from her home studio at the end of her garden. The city of Oxford is nearby, as are the Cotswolds and Blenheim Palace, which often feature in her work. She gains most of the ideas and inspiration for her work whilst visiting her favourite places and while travelling.Demi has been selling her work online and locally in exhibitions for over twenty years, and she has work in private collections all over the world.
