Pet Portraits
A TIMELESS WAY TO HONOUR YOUR BEST FRIEND
There’s nothing quite like the love of a pet
They’re our family and constant companions. They fill our days with joy, making us laugh with their unique personalities and small gestures. Through my custom pet portraits, I seek to capture that love in every pencilstroke and honour your pet’s unique spirit, creating a piece of artwork for you to treasure.
Each portrait is lovingly handcrafted from your favourite photo. I take time to study the little details that make your pet who they are, from the sparkle in their eyes to the cheeky tilt of their head and the softness in their expression. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece that radiates warmth and personality, bringing your pet’s presence into your home in a meaningful, lasting way. Pet portraits also make a deeply thoughtful gift for the animal lovers in your life.

Send me your photos
Please send me your favourite images of your pet to use as references. Clear, well-lit photos that show your pet’s face and expression work best. Try to make sure your pet is unobstructed by people, objects, or any clothing or harnesses, so I can capture them clearly. Don’t worry if you’re unsure which photo works best — I’ll guide you in choosing the perfect reference.

I create your artwork
Using artist-quality, lightfast coloured pencils on archival paper, I’ll bring your pet to life with care and attention to detail. I’ll keep you updated along the way so you feel part of the journey.

What people are saying

"Rebecca captured our new puppy perfectly in this fun little sketch! She somehow caught that ackward prance, those oversized floppy ears, and all the promise of who she's becoming. Every time I see it I'm reminded of her beginnings and how far she's already come. Such a sweet keepsake of these early, wobbly days."

“It's like looking at a photo of Lotti. The drawing truly brings out her character. Her eyes are mind-blowingly realistic. Highly recommend and can't wait to commission another one for my second dog.”

"Rebecca managed to capture his gentle spirit and playful heart in one perfect moment. Each time I look at it, I feel that same warmth and love he brings into my life. It's more than just a portrait – it's a beautiful reminder of our bond."

“Ok she's not strictly a pet, and this is me giving myself a pat on the back, but I couldn't resist drawing the gorgeous Bheri, Chester Zoo's new snow leopard cub. A determined little soul making her way in the world.”

"I am delighted with this very special portrait of Coco. Rebecca was wonderful to work with, communication was easy and thoughtful, and she took great care to understand Coco, asking for a strong selection of photos and clearly investing herself in the process. The finished piece is beautiful and captures Coco’s essence perfectly. This is something I will treasure forever."
