Why do I love to draw your fur babies?
I believe my pet portraits are physical representations of the eternal bonds between my clients and the animals they chose to share their lives with. I capture the memories of pets in their prime, and make them immortal! My portraits reflect those special human animal connections that can never be broken.
I know how heartbreaking it can be, but if the pet has passed away, I can transform that sadness into a daily dose of joy. My detailed portraits capture the life and energy flowing from your pets eyes, so you will always remember them as they were.
Timeless memories that will last forever. The gift that keeps on giving.

Pets are family and if having this portrait brings you closer to your fury family member, past or present, then I am here to bring you and your loved ones joyful memories.
I am a memory mason, a pastel pencil artist specializing in Pets and Animals. I provide a physical representation of the bond between a person and their beloved pet, or pets. Although this is my specialty, I will draw whatever I am asked to, even if it is something I have never done before, I love a challenge! I work from high resolution digital images or good quality photographs.
Animals, what can I say? They make this world a better place, they teach us, they are amazing! Without them, there would be only us. Devoid of elaborate colours, we try to manufacture our beauty. We still pale in comparison to our animal counterparts. I capture their life, their energy, their personality, and freeze it in time, so that it lasts forever, all for you! If your beloved pet has passed on, or you want to capture them in their prime, I transmute their life energy onto the black card in front of me,. Once placed onto your wall they will stay in your hearts forever.
Pastel Pencil on Black Card is my standard trademark.
Pastels are the purist form of pigment and produce the brightest of colours. Pastels will never fade, crack or yellow with time, once they are protected under glass or Perspex. The black card shows off the animal's colours beautifully, the gaps in colour show true depth and really bring your animals eyes to life.
I am willing and eager to draw and paint outside of my box, with whatever you like, on whatever you like. The biggest so far, a massive a dog portrait at 160cmx130cm on canvas. I used a combination of acrylics and oils to produce the perfect memorial for a family's dearly departed friend.
The recent move to The Richmond Traders Building offers us the ability to partner with the awesome FramesByYou, located next door, and so we can now offer custom frames and mounts as part of the service.
