People portraits & pet portraits
#fromtheheart
One thing I love to draw and paint is portraits. Each one is so unique and I love to capture the wonderful expressions and personalities of those I’m drawing. I can accommodate individuals, couples, family portraits and beloved pets as well. Favourite sporting heroes and celebrities are all welcome too!
Painted, sketched and digital portraits
On this page is a glimpse of some portraits for you. There’s a mix of hand sketched, painted and digital portraits.
I love to draw and paint alike, be it realistic or turning photos into cartoons and caricatures. Below you’ll see a range of styles and mediums, black and white as well as colour portraits. Take a look at the bottom of this page for details on how to commission me to make a personalised portrait for you.

A personal painting for you
Are you looking for a unique, personalised gift for someone? Look no further...
A portrait is the perfect new baby gift, couples gift or birthday present for friends and family. I can create for you that extra special something they will treasure forever and proudly hang on their wall for all to admire – drawing smiles every time it captures someone’s eye. From baby portraits and couple portraits to mother’s day or father’s day gifts and full on family portraits, I can create exactly what you are looking for.
Classic Portraits
I can paint or draw for you with the traditional paper or canvas and paints. You can choose from watercolours, acrylic paints, a pencil or pen sketch or pen and watercolour. I will send it to you in the post as soon as it is ready; alternatively collection can be arranged.
Digital Portraits
I can paint digitally on my computer if you prefer a super contemporary look. Every portrait is created organically – no computer filters used if you choose digital – all painted digitally on my computer with my graphics tablet – by my own fair hand. I will email the final portrait to you for you to download and print yourself.
Whether you prefer acrylic or watercolour paintings, a simple line drawing or a digital painting I can work to your preferences. Please have a look to see the sorts of portraits I have created already for some inspiration and get in touch to discuss your requirements.
You can either email me via my contact page or order a portrait via my online shop.
