Welcome to "Portraits that bite" Art Classes and Pet Portrait Commissions by Sally McLean

Your beloved pet can be captured and immortalised forever in a pet portrait. Just commission me to paint your pet or learn how to use your creative side and paint your own pet in one of my ART CLASSES!

See my article "The Art of Using Colour" in the September 2011 issue of Australian Artist!

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.
