About

British-born and Sydney-based, Graham Atwell—professionally known as ATTY—is a contemporary artist celebrated for his distinctive and deeply characterful animal portraits. After serving as an officer with London’s Metropolitan Police, he embarked on an entirely different creative path, transforming a lifelong fascination with animals into an internationally recognised body of work.

Each ATTY artwork is individually drawn by hand using digital techniques and requires hundreds of hours to complete. Through this meticulous process, every subject develops its own personality, narrative and unmistakable sense of spirit.

ATTY’s work is now held in private collections across more than 80 countries, including those of several prominent collectors. His Sydney gallery has attracted a devoted international following and continues to receive exceptional recognition from visitors on both Tripadvisor and Google.

At the heart of ATTY’s practice is the belief that art should create an emotional connection. Filled with colour, intricate detail and gentle humour, each creation is designed to feel wonderfully alive—bringing joy, warmth and character into the homes of collectors around the world.
