A portrait of the pet you miss
Losing a pet leaves a quiet space in the house. A portrait can't fill it, but it gives you a way to see them every day, drawn by hand with the care they deserve.
I work from the photos you have
Often the only photos of a pet who has died are old, blurry or taken in a hurry. That's all right. I often work from old or imperfect photos. Send me what you have on WhatsApp before you pay, and I'll tell you honestly what I can do. I check every photo before I start, and I'll ask for another if one won't work.
I take extra care with these
When you tick "This is a memorial portrait" on the order form, I message you before I start so we can talk through the photos together. Tell me about them too: their name, the collar they always wore, the tag, a favourite toy. Those small things are what I want to get right.
How it works
- Choose the size, upload your photos and pay. Payment is in full when you book.
- About halfway through, I send you a progress photo.
- When it's finished, I send you a photo. Then I ship it.
