Capturing the wags, purrs, and head-tilts of your best friends.

A lover first, an artist second
I paint the animals I’d want to share a couch with.
Every portrait starts with three or four photos and a long phone call. I want to know the rescue story, the bad-habit quirks, and the exact sound they make when they hear the treat jar open. The paint comes second.
“She captured Biscuit’s eyebrows so perfectly I cried. I cried! Over eyebrows!”

How it works
Four steps, one painting that looks like them.
- 01
Send me their photos
Three or four favourites — the silly ones, the serious ones, the one where the light is perfect. I'll pick the reference together with you.
- 02
We talk personality
A short call so I can learn the story. What makes them them? What do you want the painting to remember?
- 03
Oil on linen
I build the painting up in thin glazes over a warm underpainting. You'll get progress photos at the block-in and finish stages.
