PET PORTRAITS

Painting your furry family member

Whether you have a dog, cat, or a horse, I can capture their personality with acrylic paint.

WHAT I PAINT

Choose your animal.

DogsFrom the family lab to the farm kelpie, hand-painted dog portraits that capture the dog, not just the breed.

CatsThe hardest to get right, and my quiet favourite. Every whisker, every look, the personality you live with.

HorsesA new chapter for me. The same care, now for the horse you love. Early commissions welcome.

I take it seriously.

Most of the animals I paint have passed, or are not far from it. People trust me with the last way they will ever see their dog, their cat, their friend. I do not take that lightly.

I learn your animal before I paint them - their colours, their quirks, the look in their eyes - and I keep going until it is right. Until it is them.
