Hi I’m Sally McLean and most of my portrait commissions are for people who love their pets as parents love their children. I have worked with people from all over Australia including husbands wanting that extra special gift of love for their wives; Mothers wanting a special gift for their daughters 21st Birthday; and others who would just love to have a portrait of their special friend.
If you are like most pet owners you will want to capture your pet as they are now and forever. Whatever inspires you to have your special friend and companion immortalized in a portrait you are ensuring that you will always remember the special times you spent together. You may want to remember those special games you played with your dog in the park; the way your horse nuzzled you with his lovely wet nose; or the way your cat nudged you with his head to get your attention.
A lifelike pet portrait ensures you may enjoy your best friend and companion forever and is a beautiful piece of artwork that you can proudly display to friends and family in your home! A pet portrait also makes a unique and wonderful gift for that special person for Birthdays, Anniversaries, Christmas, Valentines Day, Mothers Day or Fathers Day. Gift Certificates are available for short deadlines.
The way I use colour, my attention to detail and my accuracy in achieving a likeness to your special pet are what make me stand out as a pet portrait artist. Pastel is the perfect medium for showing the detail, colour and tone of animal fur or hair.

"Sally. When you sent me a work in progress of my beautiful Ruby Tuesday it brought tears to my eyes. Thankyou so much for catching her beauty and her spark so intricately. You have done an amazing job of my darling girl."
