About paw & Mane

I’m a UK-based artist specialising in creating hand-painted oil portraits of beloved pets and horses.

My journey as a pet portrait artist began with a simple yet heartfelt gesture. I painted a portrait of my sister’s dog as a gift, not knowing it would spark this venture.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to capture the love between you and your pet on canvas.❤️

The Process

Each portrait is a collaborative and thoughtful process. I work closely with you from start to finish, ensuring that your vision is brought to life. Whether you’re commissioning a portrait to honour a cherished pet, give as a meaningful gift, or simply adorn your home, I’m committed to creating artwork that speaks to your heart.

I pride myself on attention to detail, ensuring every painting reflects the individuality and spirit of your dog, cat, horse, or other beloved animals. Using high-quality materials and traditional oil painting techniques, I bring a timeless and classic feel to each piece. The result? A personal work of art.
