I have been a professional pet portrait artist since 2005. I live in the beautiful Peak District with my husband and our furry family. I work form your detailed photographs to produce a true likeness of your beloved pet. I use only the finest quality pastel pencils, pastels and paper. My portraits are all hand drawn and unique and take many hours to complete. Each portrait is as individual as the pet itself and I pride myself on being able to achieve an exacting likeness. A pet portrait is an ideal gift for any pet lover whether it's a memorial portrait, creating a lasting memory of a beloved companion, or a portrait that captures the character and spirit of your pet today. I have many returning customers who were so pleased with their original pet portraits that they have commissioned me to do others for them. I must be doing something right!!
I won PET PAW-TRAIT ARTIST OF THE YEAR 2008. Voted for by the readers of Dogs Today magazine. I am really pleased to be awarded this title.
One of my portraits 'Waiting for Dad' is included in the Creative minds book II.
