Although I’ve previously worked in oils, I currently focus on charcoal and pastel portraits on archival paper.

🐾 How It Works

Each portrait begins with your favourite photos and a few words about your pet’s personality. I use these to capture not just likeness, but the little spark that makes them who they are.

Step 1 – Get in Touch
Send an enquiry using the form below, and we’ll chat about your ideas, size preferences, and whether you’d like charcoal or pastel.

Step 2 – Reference Photos
You’ll share a few clear photos of your pet. Natural light and sharp eyes help me see their true expression.

Step 3 – Creating the Artwork
Once details are confirmed, I begin your portrait. Each piece is drawn by hand using professional-grade materials on archival paper.

Step 4 – Delivery
When finished, your artwork is carefully packaged and shipped flat, ready for framing.

💫 Sizes & Pricing (USD $)

Reference Photos

Your portrait will be as accurate and full of personality as possible — and that starts with good reference photos. Clear, well-lit images showing your pet from the angle you’d like captured are essential.

• I recommend multiple photos if your pet moves a lot or you want a particular expression.

• Photos should show the face, eyes, and key features clearly.

• If the images provided don’t give enough information to create a high-quality portrait, I reserve the right to request additional photos or, in rare cases, decline the commission.

Tip for best results: Natural light and sharp, in-focus photos really help me capture your pet’s personality.
