Pet Portraits
I specialise in pet portraits, and they are one of my favourite things to create. I have painted over 350 of them to date.
I always love seeing new enquiries appearing in my inbox and seeing the photos of which pet I’m going to paint next! I am happy to create pet portraits with animals of all shapes and sizes - dogs, cats, horses, chickens, fish and anything else in between.
It makes me happy to see how much people adore their pets, and this is something I love to reflect in my pet portraits. I’ve had pets ever since I was little, and they have always been such an important part of my life (I’ve even written a blog post all about them!). A pet portrait is the perfect tribute to your furry (or scaly) best friend, that makes you smile every time you see it.
My pet portraits are lovingly hand-painted with care and attention, making sure I include all the little details that make each pet truly unique. Working with gouache paint, I build up many layers to create rich tones and textures, and a balance of fine detail and expressive mark-making. I always aim to capture a sense of energy and character, as well as a true likeness of each pet.
