My Inspiration

Like so many of you, I’ve always felt a deep bond with animals. What started as sketching my own pets has turned into a passion for helping others celebrate theirs. Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to draw so many different dogs, cats, birds and even some exotic “pets”, including a giraffe and a Zambian Sable. It brings me fulfilment to capture your pet’s individual characteristics and their subtle nuances into my pet portraits. Then my ultimate joy comes from you, the pet’s human, and your reaction to my portrait of your pet.
