Pet Portraits with Personality
A portrait of a beloved pet is a wonderful way to celebrate and immortalise the animals that bring so much joy, companionship and comfort into our lives. Every pet-owner relationship is distinct, characterised by unique quirks, shared moments, and mutual affection.
The style file
Your pet will undoubtedly have their own style, and you will want to find the artist who best represents that! Our portfolio includes a diverse range of talents so we can find your perfect match. For those who prefer precise portrayals, Debbie Boon and Alex McGarry capture every detail—from the texture of their fur to the mischievous sparkle in their eyes. In contrast, Jenny Bardell’s kaleidoscopic palette encapsulates the essence of your pet, focusing on their spirit rather than minute details. For a bold, modern take, Sam Ellis employs a loose, dynamic style, with visible brushstrokes that introduce a sense of movement and liveliness, perfect for reflecting an energetic personality!
A bespoke experience
A pet portrait not only celebrates your special bond but also reflects your pet’s status as a fully-fledged family member. The commissioning process is therefore deeply personal and often involves a close collaboration. An artist such as Samantha Ellis, Jenny Bardell, Debbie Boon or Alex McGarry will work closely with you to create a bespoke work of art that captures your pet’s individuality—whether that means incorporating their favourite toy or immortalising a distinctive expression. This level of personalisation ensures that the portrait is an authentic representation of your pet’s individuality and of your shared experience.
If you wish to have a commission done of your pet please get in touch with your local gallery.
A gift to treasure
Our pets are part of life’s most cherished moments, from birthdays to graduations to weddings. Celebrating these milestones with a piece of art can add a deeply personal and meaningful touch. Doug Hyde’s heart-warming artworks, with their affectionate portrayals of the special bond between people and pets, are a beautiful way to honour a beloved companion. His work captures the love and joy pets bring into our lives, offering both celebration and comfort.
