Looking for something special that captures your animal’s spirit, not just their likeness? Commission a timeless oil painting that reflects their character, presence and quirks. Each portrait is created with fine detail and feeling, so you can honour a beloved companion or give a deeply personal gift that will be treasured for years.
Commissions are open for all animals, including cats, horses, dogs and wildlife. The focus of my work is to paint a subject’s inner aura, creating a portrait with character, whether that is a carefree presence, an inquisitive spirit or another feeling you recognise instantly when you think of them.

Bring your vision to life in five simple steps
Step One: Prepare Your Photo
To begin, you’ll need a high quality photo of your animal. Clear lighting and sharp detail help capture their eyes and expression. An exception is made for pet memorials. If you only have a few lower quality photos, you are very welcome to share your pet’s breed, eye colour and any small details you remember, and these can be thoughtfully combined to create a faithful portrait. If you’re unsure which to choose, we can review your photos together after you fill out the contact form.

Step Two: Choose Your Size
Choose from eight canvas board sizes to suit your space and budget. Please note a 50% deposit is required prior to the commencement of your commission.
Step Three: Submit Your Request
When you’re ready, please fill out the contact form below. This is where you can share who you’d like painted, any favourite details (a tilt of the head, a particular expression), and how you’d like them to be remembered. The more you share, the more personal the final painting will feel.
Step Four: Confirmation & Creation
After receiving your form, you’ll receive an email confirming availability, price and timeframe. At this stage, we’ll choose the final reference photo together and agree on the composition.
The painting process usually takes around three to four weeks, allowing time for painting, drying and varnishing. When your portrait is nearly complete, you’ll receive a preview and the chance to request minor adjustments before the final protective varnish is applied.
Step Five: Delivery
Once your portrait is complete, you will receive a final payment link for the remaining 50%. At this stage, you will also be able to select your shipping option. UK shipping is complimentary, while international delivery will incur an additional fee.
Once full payment has been received your finished painting will be carefully packaged, shipped with tracking, and delivered unframed, so you can choose a frame that suits your home and style.
I look forward to creating something special with you!
