How it works
How a commission works
I use professional, colour-fast materials so your piece will give you years of enjoyment. Your commission will arrive mounted, attached to a back board with a protective sleeve.
01
Enquire
Send a few photos of your pet or your person — the kind where their personality really shows. I'll come back to you within two working days.
02
Approve the sketch
I share an early sketch so you can guide composition, mood and details. A small deposit secures your slot in the studio.
03
Receive the portrait
Your finished portrait arrives carefully packed, ready to frame. Typical turnaround is 3–4 weeks.

What clients say
Catherine has painted the most amazing portrait of my dog — she has managed to capture the spirit in his eyes. Absolutely love it and would recommend to anyone. Absolutely fantastic.
What an amazing artist — very accommodating, great attention to detail, plenty of updates throughout, and a great picture at the end which I was gifting as a present.
Catherine is such a talented and gifted artist. My wife and I were very surprised when she did a pencil portrait of our lovely dog from a photograph. The portrait is perfect in every way — the details, the colours and the expression are spot on. We are so happy to have such a beautiful portrait of our dog, which means so much to us both.
After my soul dog passed away, Catherine did the most beautiful drawing of my girl. It was so true to the photo and really touched my heart. Thank you so much — highly recommend!
