Pet portrait

and animal artist

Welcome I’m Alex.

Send me your favourite photos, and I’ll transform them into beautiful hand-painted acrylic portraits from my home studio in West Sussex. Each piece is crafted with love, turning your snapshots into treasured art. Plus, you can choose from a range of canvas sizes and frame colours to perfectly fit your space.

“I just wanted to let you know that our dog Dexter passed away yesterday. I’m so glad I asked you to paint him 7 years ago, as it’ll be something I can keep forever and you captured him so well. The painting of him and Phoebe are proudly displayed and I still absolutely adore them.”

Shop products from my small business.

I create products featuring my original art, like greeting cards, bookmarks, and prints, which you can find in my Etsy store. They make wonderful gifts for animal lovers, and every purchase helps support me as an artist—something I’m truly grateful for!

For Artists

In addition to creating original artwork, I also offer tutorials for aspiring pet portrait artists. Whether you're looking to improve your skills or want to try your hand at painting your own beloved pet, my tutorials provide step-by-step guidance. These lessons are designed to help both beginners and more experienced artists explore techniques and tips for capturing the unique personality of animals. My goal is to inspire others to create their own cherished pet portraits with confidence and creativity.
