Specialising in Pet Portraits

I can create a beautiful artwork for you using either pastel pencils or watercolour paints. I can draw from one good quality photograph provided by you or alternatively, combine a number of photos to create the desired portrait.

Our pets are so loved and such a big part of our lives that it is important to me that all my customers end up with a portrait that they love. Therefore, I involve my customers in the process by sending them progress pictures as well as a photo when the portrait is close to completion in order to give them the opportunity to make any changes or alterations .

“Meredith has a real talent for capturing, not only the likeness, but the light, in our beloved Shoes’ eyes. Meredith produced this pastel picture in various stages consulting me at regular intervals. She worked from a couple of photos and a video because Shoes passed away last week. My daughter burst into tears when she saw her” - Trish


 
 
  • It’s important to choose a clear photograph that shows your pet’s features. Decide if you would like a full body portrait or just the bust.

    If you only have limited photos, I can work with what’s available.

  • Choose the medium (pastel or watercolour), the size and if you would like your portrait framed or not for watercolour portraits. Pastel portraits come framed to protect the artwork from smudging.

Framing Options…

Each portrait size can be framed in a natural, black or white frame. You can also choose if you would like a mat included or if you would prefer the portrait to be flush with the frame.
