commisions
Working closely with each client, I aim to capture more than a likeness — I focus on presence, expression, and the quiet personality that makes your animal uniquely yours.
My connection to pet portraiture began with painting my own 18-year-old cat, Foxy. What started as a personal tribute became a deeper understanding of how powerful it is to see a beloved companion reflected back in art.
A commissioned portrait is not simply decoration. It is a way of holding onto a presence — whether for your own home or as a deeply personal gift. I also create memorial portraits, approached with particular care and sensitivity, understanding how important it is to honour an animal’s memory with respect and warmth.
All portraits are created from photographs, allowing your animal to remain in a relaxed, natural setting while I work from carefully chosen reference imagery.

Initial Consultation
Once your commission is confirmed, we discuss composition, size, and overall
atmosphere. We’ll decide together on background tone, mood, and any specific details
that matter to you.
Reference Photographs
You will provide a selection of images, including the exact photograph you would like me to
work from. The chosen image should reflect how you wish your animal
to be remembered - expression and posture are important.
Composition Preview
Before painting begins, I prepare a simple visual composition plan to confirm
background and positioning. This ensures we are aligned before the artwork is started.
Painting Stage
Your portrait is then developed carefully, layer by layer, focusing on
character, texture, and expression.
Final Review
Before sealing the artwork, I will share the completed piece with you. Minor refinements
can be discussed at this stage.
Finishing & Protection
The artwork is sealed for longevity and protection, ensuring durability and color depth.
Packaging & Delivery
Each piece is carefully packaged and shipped securely.
Domestic and international delivery available.
pricing & sizes
Each commission is individually created by hand using professional materials and finished
for long-term preservation. Pricing reflects time, detail, and subject complexity.
