Hand-painted portraits of pets

Working from my studio in Melbourne/Naarm, I draw on fifteen years of portraiture experience to create treasured pet portraits. I use professional-grade acrylics on high-quality artist paper, focusing on small details and expression, so that each piece captures your animal, not just any animal. My practice is about honouring the connection people share with their companions through gentle, expressive brushstrokes. My beautiful cat, Darlene, keeps me company as I paint, snoozing by my side.
