Pet Portraits

Pets are absolutely wonderful – from dearest dogs and perfect pooches, to fabulous felines and classy cats, glamorous guinea pigs, luscious llamas and mighty mice!

For lovingly detailed pet portraits, drawn from your favourite photos, Dawnie uses professional quality pastels, pencils and ink and high quality paper.

A completely unique memento or gift celebrating beloved furry friends.

Dudley for Liz

This commission was for a daughter’s birthday: “You have captured Dudley perfectly, I feel that I could touch and smell him!” “Liz absolutely loved your portrait of Dudley, she cried when she saw it and said it was very special. We wish you continued success with your work.” Val R, Norfolk

Evie the Frenchie

This portrait was a birthday gift commissioned for Angie C’s sister: “Thank you so much, it’s perfect. I couldn’t wait to give it to my sister so she has it now and was absolutely thrilled. It is a true likeness, you are so talented. I may order another as I really wanted to keep it! Thanks again.” Angie C, York

Mango for Jill

“Look at those beautiful wrinkles! You’ve really caught our cheeky little pudding. Our 2 year old tells everyone who comes into the house to come and look at the drawing of Mango! We’re completely thrilled, thank you!” Jill W, Lincoln

Thorn for Katie

“When I opened the drawing of Thorn I instantly cried! Not only was it such talented work but Dawn captured my boy perfectly, I thought it was better than the photo . The picture is at the top of my stairs so I can say goodnight to him. I can’t thank you enough”. Katie P, Lancaster

Monster for Laura

“It’s amazing! I love my portrait of Monster so much! Everyone who has seen it loves it too. I’m recommending you to all of them. His eyes and attitude are spot on, and his total fluffiness – it’s just fab, thank you so much.” Laura G, Preston

Barney for Nikki

“Just want to say a massive thank you for making my mum’s mothers day gift truly unique and awesome! If you want a gift that’s a bit different, check out the portraits that Dawn creates. Super talented.” Nikki H, Preston
