Pet Portraits Created from Your Favourite Pet Photos
Pet portraits are a beautiful way to celebrate the love and bond you share with your pet. Our pets are part of the family, and a hand-drawn portrait allows their personality, character, and spirit to live on in a meaningful and lasting way.
Whether you are looking to remember a beloved companion, celebrate a pet who is still by your side, or give a thoughtful gift to someone special, a custom pet portrait created from your favourite photo is something to treasure forever.
Hand-Drawn Pet Portraits from Your Photos
All of my pet drawings are carefully hand-drawn from photos you provide. Working from a photograph allows me to capture your pet’s exact markings, expressions, and unique features with lifelike detail. Every pet is different, and my aim is to create pet portraits that truly reflect who they are.
A photo may capture a single moment in time, but a hand-drawn portrait brings that moment to life. Through careful shading, fine detail, and patience, I create pet portraits that feel personal, emotional, and full of warmth.
Why Choose a Custom Pet Portrait?
Commissioning a pet portrait is about more than just a drawing. It is about celebrating memories, love, and companionship.
Pet portraits are ideal if you want to:
- Honour a pet who has passed away and keep their memory close
- Celebrate a current pet and the joy they bring to your life
- Create a meaningful, personalised gift for a loved one
- Own a timeless piece of artwork that never goes out of style
Many clients tell me their pet portrait bring comfort, happiness, and even happy tears when they see the finished artwork for the first time.
Pet Portraits as Meaningful Gifts
A hand-drawn pet portrait makes a thoughtful and heartfelt gift for many occasions. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, Christmas, or a special remembrance, pet portraits are deeply personal and always appreciated.
Unlike mass-produced gifts, pet portraits are created with care, time, and attention. They show thought, love, and understanding of how important a pet truly is to their owner.
Creating Pet Portraits of Pets No Longer With Us
I also create portraits for clients whose pets are no longer with them. Even if you only have older or limited photos, I can still work from them to create a sensitive and respectful portrait.
These portraits often become cherished keepsakes, offering comfort and a lasting reminder of a much-loved companion who will never be forgotten.

When you commission one of my pet portraits, you receive a fully personalised service from start to finish. I take time to understand your preferences and guide you on choosing the best reference photo for your pet portrait.
