Memorial Pet PortraitsA lasting tribute to a cherished companion
A hand-drawn pastel portrait is a gentle, lasting way to remember a beloved companion. Each memorial keepsake is created slowly and with great care from your favourite photograph — capturing the softness of their eyes, the character in their expression, and the quiet bond you shared.
A gentle way to remember
Whether you have recently said goodbye or are looking for a meaningful keepsake to mark an anniversary, a memorial pet portrait offers a quiet, personal tribute. Based in Lancaster, Lancashire, I create these portraits for customers throughout the UK, working from the photographs that mean the most to you.
Every drawing is approached with patience and respect. There is no rush, no pressure, and no obligation until you are completely happy to proceed.
Pet portraits from old photos
Don't worry if your favourite photographs aren't perfect. Many memorial pet portraits are created from older or lower-quality photographs, and these can often produce beautiful results. If you have several photographs, I can combine the best features from each to create a hand-drawn portrait that truly captures your pet's personality.
Whether you are commissioning a dog memorial portrait, a cat memorial portrait, or a tribute to another beloved companion, please don't hesitate to send me your photographs, even if they're old or not the best quality. I'll carefully review them, discuss the available options with you, and let you know exactly what's possible before you commit to anything. I'll only ask for a deposit once you're completely happy to proceed.
Dog, cat and companion memorial portraits
I am happy to create memorial portraits of dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and other much-loved pets. Each piece is treated with the same care, whether it is a lively dog memorial portrait full of character, a peaceful cat memorial portrait, or a tribute to a smaller companion.
