Henriette van Staden is a soft pastel artist specialising in realistic

wildlife and pet portraits. An artist at heart, she swapped a successful

career in wedding photography for one in soft pastels and coloured pencils.

Henriette is open, friendly and honest about her journey as an artist, and

what I learnt from her is to treat a career in art like one would any other

- have a plan, and work steadily towards it.
