Pet & Animal Portraits

 Why I Love Creating Pet Portraits

I believe my pet portraits are more than just artwork—they are lasting tributes to the eternal bond between you and the animals who share your life. I capture your pet’s personality, their unique expressions, and the special connection you share, preserving their memory in a timeless piece of art.

Whether you’re celebrating your pet in their prime or honoring a beloved companion who has passed, my portraits bring joy and comfort. I focus on capturing the life and energy in their eyes, ensuring you always remember them just as they were—full of love and spirit.

A custom pet portrait is more than just a keepsake—it’s a gift that keeps on giving.

I am a memory mason, a pastel pencil artist specializing in pet and animal portraits. My work provides a tangible representation of the bond between you and your beloved pet. While animals are my specialty, I welcome any challenge—if you have something unique in mind, I’m always excited to bring it to life!

Animals make this world a better place. They teach us, inspire us, and bring beauty beyond what we can create. Without them, there would be only us—pale in comparison. I capture their life, energy, and personality, preserving them in time so their spirit can live on in your home and heart. Whether you wish to celebrate them in their prime or honor a cherished companion who has passed, my portraits are a lasting tribute.

My signature style is pastel pencil on black card, a combination that:
✔ Produces vibrant, rich colors
✔ Ensures lifelike depth and realism
✔ Will never fade, crack, or yellow when protected under glass or Perspex
The deep black background enhances your pet’s natural beauty, making their eyes and fur come to life.

While pet portraits are my passion, I also take on custom commissions of any subject, using a variety of techniques and surfaces. My largest piece to date? A 160cm x 130cm memorial dog portrait on canvas, created with a blend of acrylics and oils—a truly one-of-a-kind tribute.

With my recent move to The Richmond Traders Building, I’m excited to partner with FramesByYou, located right next door. This means I can now offer custom framing and mounts as part of my service!
