Magali Lapeyre-Mirande is a French artist  living near Bordeaux, France. Working in soft pastels and in both colored and graphite pencils, she prides herself on her attention to details to capture the personality and the emotions portrayed in each individual artwork. After working exclusively on people's portraits for many years, she began to mix her passion to wildlife to her art.

All of her artworks are drawn free-hand, with the use of the highest quality art materials available so that her art pieces can last through time. She's raising awareness on endangered species by giving a percentage of each sale to dedicated charities.
