About:

Kit Gray never planned to become an artist, but when life necessitated a career change to accommodate her health, she decided to find new opportunities and ways to adapt. With a passion for environmental education and birding, Kit loves to take a scientific illustration approach to creating wildlife, botanical, and pet artwork. She tends to create work she can imagine in a field guide or textbook, with each piece serving as a study of a different species or individual. Pastels help guide this work by lending beautiful colors and soft, yet detailed textures to each new study. Should her style evolve over time, Kit can’t really imagine leaving pastels behind due to their unique characteristics and versatility.

In 2019, Kit was selected by peers in the creative industry as one of Rising Tide Society’s “20 on the Rise” – a curated list of creatives making a difference via empowerment, impact, purpose, and passion. She is very passionate about environmental conservation as well as advocacy and support for disabled people. In her spare time, Kit enjoys birding, doing field and target archery, and spending time with her partner and their two rescue dogs.

    When Pastels Equal Freedom

    I spent my childhood drawing cartoons, but never really imagined I could do much more artistically. I chose music classes over art and chose environmental education over music when it came time to choose a career.

Colour Chart Guidance

We believe the colours in our web based colour chart are a faithful representation of our pastel range. But with any colours portrayed on the internet, there’s a whole heap of variables which mean that what you see, may not be what we see. That said, there’s some things that can be done to mitigate some of the variance.

Mobile phone and tablet screens tend to be pretty good for colour, so they’re always worth using, when viewing our colour chart.

We hate to say it, but cheaper computer displays, including laptops, can be rather hit and miss, in both colour and contrast, so they might not reveal the depth of the colour, as well as the true tone.

If you’re really keen on getting your computer up to speed on colour representation, you can use a calibration device to reach your display's fullest potential.

With all that said, if you think we’re way off the mark with any of the colours then, by all means let us know, and we’ll give it another shot.
