In over 45 years of working with animals, Abbie has enjoyed working with them in many different aspects from veterinary nursing, dog and cat grooming and dog behaviour to being an animal agent supplying all kinds of animals to film and tv where she trained, handled and cared for them while on set.

Throughout her career she used her communication abilities to ensure all of the animals in her care had the most relaxed experience as possible.

Her affinity with animals was obvious from a very young child when relatives began to witness her closeness to even the largest dog or horse in a field, she always had a "knowing" about them that those around her seemed to dismiss.

Nowadays she works solely as an Animal Artist and Communicator. Her work can be found on her website www.petportraitsbyabbie.wordpress.com and on Facebook Animal portraits by Abbie.

In her work as an Animal Communicator, she finds more and more via their communications that animals offer an incredible support to their owners, either while still with us or from their spirit.

Abbie has been mentored for three months in Animal Communication by the incredible Joanne Yeoh of www.animalcommunicationinsights.com
