How it works

01

Send your photos

Send me three to five of your favourite photos. Clear photos that show their face, markings and personality give me the best reference to work from.

02

I start painting

I paint your portrait by hand in acrylic on canvas, using bold colours and strong linework while keeping your pet’s features, markings and personality recognisable. Most portraits take around 3–4 weeks.

03

Your portrait is ready

Once it’s finished, your original portrait is signed, carefully packed and sent straight to your door.
