Detailed portraits and wildlife drawings that capture expression, texture, and light, worked in coloured pencil, graphite, charcoal, oils and watercolour. Each piece is built slowly, layer by layer, until the subject feels present.
Now open for selected commission inquiries
I’m Ameeta Jackree, a Trinidad and Tobago–based self-taught artist whose work blends hyper-detailed realism with the expressive vibrancy of Caribbean life. Working primarily in coloured pencil, graphite, charcoal, pastels, oils and watercolour, I’m drawn to subjects that carry both presence and feeling. Wildlife, botanicals, portraiture, and moments shaped by light.
My work often celebrates the natural world of my homeland, from tropical birds and flora to luminous textures and colour palettes that echo island life. I’m especially interested in the details that make a subject feel alive: the softness of fur, the pattern of feathers, the stillness in an eye, and the quiet energy a piece can hold.

Currently accepting a limited number of commissions
I take on a limited number of commissions each year, portraits of people, pets, and wildlife. If you have a subject in mind, I'd be glad to discuss it. Pieces are worked in coloured pencil, graphite and charcoal or oils depending on the subject.
Ideal for meaningful personal pieces, gifts, commemorative portraits, and wildlife subjects created with careful attention to detail.
