Pet Portraits
Hello and welcome to my website. I am an award winning, professional artist, based in a village in Cambridgeshire, the UK, and specializing in bespoke pet portraits for customers all over the UK and the world.
I work in fine art colour pencils and pastels, which allow me to produce fine detail. I love and strive to capture the character and spirit of your beloved pet, as well as their natural physical beauty, in every portrait I create.
"I commissioned a portrait of my sister's dog Lola, this was as a gift for her and her husband's 50th Wedding anniversary celebration. Mel created the most adorable portrait of Lola. I was so happy to give this as a gift, as it’s a delightful work of art. I know from Carol and Steve they are overjoyed with the portrait and have it hanging up at home." - Catherine
The animal friends we share our lives with give us so much- their unconditional love, affection, loyalty and much more- they enrich our lives with their presence.
A portrait of your animal family member is a beautiful way to celebrate our remarkable relationship with them.
"I was so, so pleased with the results. Mel caught an amazing likeness in her drawing of him and it is a much cherished portrait. I gifted it to my daughter and son in law as a gift and they absolutely loved it. They are all clearly drawn with love and careful attention to detail.I would recommend Mel to anyone wanting a unique gift/memory of a loved pet or person, you certainly won't be disappointed."
