Hi, I'm Alex. I paint animals and I help artists build a business they actually love.

Artist · Teacher · West Sussex

My pet portraits are painted by hand with acrylic and oils — no shortcuts, no AI. Every piece is made with real care for the animal in it and the person who loves them.

And if you're an artist trying to figure out how to turn your passion into a proper income? I've been there. I share everything I know.

Welcome,

you're in the right place...

A little about me

I've been painting animals for years — dogs, cats, wildlife — and I still love it every single time. There's something about capturing the personality of a pet in paint that never gets old.

But alongside my commissions, I've built something I'm equally proud of: a community of artists learning how to build real, sustainable income from their work. Through YouTube, guides, and resources, I share the honest side of running an art business — the pricing, the marketing, the mindset, and the bits nobody talks about.

Whether you're here for a portrait or a push in the right direction, you're very welcome.

A Portrait Your Family Will Treasure Forever

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 300+ commissions completed · Trusted by pet owners across the UK and beyond

Your pet is one of a kind. Their portrait should be too.

I paint every commission by hand — taking your favourite photo and turning it into something you'll want to hang on your wall and keep for years. Every brush stroke is mine. Every detail is considered. No two paintings are ever the same.

Whether it's a gift for someone who loves their pet with everything they've got, or a keepsake of an animal who meant the world to you — this is something made with real care.

For Artists Building Something Real

I didn't wake up with a business plan. I built my art income slowly, by figuring things out as I went — pricing, Etsy, social media, commissions, passive income. It took time and a lot of trial and error.

Now I share everything: free guides, templates, YouTube tutorials, and the honest truth about what it actually takes to earn a living from your art. No fluff, no fake income claims — just real, practical help from someone still in it.
