Pet Portraits

I find great joy in creating portraits of people’s beloved pets. Each painting is more than a likeness, it’s an attempt to capture the spirit, quirks and quiet moments that make every animal special. With the versatility of watercolour and the expressive detail of ink, I aim to bring out the cheekiness and individuality of your fur baby. Take a look at some of my commissions below.
