Our paintings are made with non-toxic oil paint on the highest grade linen canvas. The result is art that withstands increased humidity, remains odor-free, and does not fade over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Prices for my pencil pet portraits vary depending on the size and number of pets included. Every drawing is a bespoke commission, hand-rendered in graphite on archival-quality paper. You are not just commissioning a drawing – you are getting a beautiful, one-of-a-kind keepsake of your pet that will last a lifetime. Just drop me a line if you would like a personalised quote.
Yes – pencil portraits make truly meaningful gifts. Whether you are planning ahead or need something at short notice, I can help. I offer personalised and all of my drawings come wrapped in tissue, presented in a presentation box tied with ribbon – ideal for birthdays, anniversaries or Christmas. If you are commissioning the portrait yourself, I can help you choose the perfect photo and package everything up so it’s ready to delight.
Yes – I ship my pencil portraits worldwide. I regularly send artwork to clients in the US, Canada, Australia and Europe. Each piece is carefully wrapped in acid-free tissue and placed in a sturdy presentation box for protection. All parcels are sent via tracked delivery services to ensure they reach you safely, wherever you are in the world.
Our pencil portraits usually take between 1 to 3 Months to complete, depending on my current schedule and the level of detail involved. If you're working to a deadline such as a birthday or memorial please let me know and I will do my best to prioritise it. I keep in touch with clients throughout the process, so you’ll always know how things are progressing.
Yes – I am more than happy to help. A great reference photo makes all the difference in a portrait. Ideally I need clear, close-up shots taken in natural light where your pet’s eyes, fur and expression are all visible. If you have a few to choose from, I can advise which would work best – or even combine elements from different images to create the perfect composition.
