Beautiful Hand‑Drawn Pet Portraits Created with care in Brighton



To commission a portrait, I work from high-quality reference photographs. Clear images taken in natural, outdoor light are ideal, as they help me capture accurate fur colour and fine detail. I always welcome multiple photos, as this allows me to truly understand your pet’s personality and reflect their unique character in the finished artwork.

Please note that there is currently a waiting list of approximately 1–2 months. Your place is confirmed once the booking fee has been received. Occasionally, cancellations do occur, and clients who have already secured their booking may be offered an earlier start date where possible.
Clear, high-quality reference photos are essential to creating an accurate and characterful portrait. The following tips will help ensure the best possible result:

I specialise in animal portraits, working from photos to capture each pet’s personality and expression. My commissions most often feature dogs, cats, and horses, but I also create portraits of rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and other small pets. I can adapt the portrait to a realistic, painterly, or minimalist style—just tell me the look you prefer when you book.
I’m based in Rottingdean, East Sussex, and I deliver across the UK.
Local hand delivery across East Sussex is available free of charge, or you’re welcome to collect your piece from my home studio. For UK deliveries I use tracked, professionally packed shipping and will confirm the postage cost before dispatch
After you pay the booking fee , we will agree on the target date for completion. I’ll ask you to send as many photos as you can, ideally taken in natural outdoor light so I can match fur colour and capture your pet’s character. If only older or indoor photos are available because your pet has passed, that’s absolutely fine — I often work from treasured old images to recreate happy memories.
Once I have the photos I’ll produce a very rough sketch and send it to you to confirm the pose and composition. When you’re happy with the sketch I’ll begin the final drawing and complete it within your booked timeframe over the following weeks. Framing is included in the price and we’ll agree a frame colour that suits your home before I send the finished piece
Standard prices start from £300, for a single animal drawn on an A4 size paper, and then mounted/framed on top of that. If you have more than one animal, please enquire, as this will be an additional cost.
Smaller Miniature drawings start at £125 Inc framing - please enquire
Typical wait: I usually have a 2–3 month wait for new commissions.
How to secure a slot: Pay the booking fee to reserve your place on the schedule.
Rush option: If you need your portrait sooner I offer expedited service for an additional fee — £100 for A4 or £150 for A3. Rush orders still require at least 2–3 weeks to complete, be professionally framed, and be ready to hang.
Note: Rush availability is limited and depends on current bookings, so booking early is recommended.
Short answer: Yes — I deliver across the UK. Delivery costs are not included in the advertised price and are added at checkout.
How shipping works
I usually send parcels with Parcelforce and calculate the fee based on size, weight, packaging requirements, and delivery speed. I aim to charge only the cost price and will confirm the exact postage before dispatch.
What you’ll receive
All orders include tracking details and are packaged for safe transit; larger pieces are professionally packed and insured where appropriate. If you prefer local collection instead of delivery, let me know and I’ll arrange it.
