Why Get A Pet Portrait?

Our precious pets do not have a lifespan as long as ours so there will come a time when we will miss them. A portrait means your loyal friend and companion will outlast you and future generations.

Portrait Vs Photograph

As an artist I am able to add or remove any feature as I paint your portrait.

Where a photograph fades and becomes damaged by its environment over time, pastel artworks from the 16th century still exist today as fresh as the day they were painted and oil paintings have endured since the early 15th century.

I have been creating pet portraits since 2005 and in this time I have brought joy to the lives of many pet owners. Read testimonials from happy clients like Rebecca Tedder of Melbourne who said

"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."
