Joe Krarup is a self taught artist specialising in portraiture. I’ve had no formal teaching as an artist but have always enjoyed drawing and have a natural talent for it.

I drew from a young age but stopped for 40 years only to start scetching again during the pandemic. It was then that I realised I still had that natural talent and passion for drawing. I took a course in life drawing and some online portrait drawing classes to brush up on my technique and learn about other mediums to use in my work.

I love drawing iconic personalities from sports, music and film. I’m a keen boxing fan and have drawn many boxing images in recent years.

I am now proud to be able to call myself a professional portrait artist having done many private commissions. I’ve also exhibited in various art cafés in West Sussex.
