I had my first pet portrait done back in 2016 with Angie and I knew immediately I would be back again for another! Angie's professionalism is faultless. She takes genuine interest in customer's pets making the service feel so personal which I'm sure must help capture the animal's personality. I can't reccomend Angie enough, from day one through to receiving the beautifully packaged portrait I've felt like a very valued customer. I don't have enough words to say just how perfect Lottie's portrait is. Thank you so very much.read more

This was a wonderful experience from start to finish! Angie is so talented but above that wants to achieve an amazing portrait which the owner will love! Mission accomplished, I have just received my portrait of Lola and the presentation alone is amazing before you even get to the portrait itself! Beautifully wrapped and tied in a bow. Then you get to the portrait itself, it took my breath away and brought a tear it totally caught the expression of my girl. It is truly wonderful. Thank you Angie 💕read more

A very talented lady who has bought our Cookie back to life. Although Angie had never met Cookie it is like she knew him & you can see this in the ‘life’ she had put into his eyes. I have never met Angie but now feel I know her, as well as she knows Cookie.read more

Absolutely, YES! Angie recently completed a portrait of my Beagle. Her work is incredible and she is a wonderful artist to work with. Her compassion and dedication to each work of art are unequivocal. The detail, expression & coloring she reproduces in her portraits are amazing. It is also astonishing how she is able to instill each animal's personality into its portrait. Angie was able to capture the absolute essence of my dog. "BoB" and portray it exquisitely on paper. Anyone who sees BoB's portrait will feel they immediately "know" him. I cannot thank Angie enough for giving me such a special "living" memory of BoB!read more

From the onset Angie was a joy to work with, kind, helpful and very understanding. It’s clear she has a genuine love for animals. The moment the portrait arrived I could instantly see the pride and care Angie takes in her work. Not only was it well packaged but the presentation was stunning. The portrait was carefully wrapped with a personalised certificate of authenticity and instructions on how to care for it, such a special touch. The portrait of our sweet Yorkshire Terrier, Benji is breathtakingly beautiful. Angie’s talent has truly captured his spirit, personality and temperament. Benji has very expressive eyes. That intensity really comes through in Angie’s work. I can’t emphasise enough how Angie’s drawings bring the character of your pet to life. The portrait is something I will treasure for the rest of my life and I am so excited to have it framed. Thank you so much Angie for creating this amazing portrait of my boy, it has far exceeded my expectations and I could not be happier. You have raw talent and are so modest, sweet and helpful! If you are looking for a beautiful, thoughtful and quality gift for yourself or a pet lover friend then look no further ....... I promise, you will not be disappointed.read more

I really don't know how to express my gratitude to Angie for her absolutely stunning work. She is truly gifted. The portrait that Angie drew of my cat Peanut is absolutely perfect. I am in awe of the colouring and the detail. Angie managed to truly capture the likeness of my Peanut, and I can see her in those eyes. Those eyes! Angie's work is breathtaking and this portrait means so much to me. Angie was also an absolute pleasure to work with, lots of emails with updates and progress photos that I also cherish. Thank you again xread more

This afternoon I received Alfie's portrait from Angie, to say I am blown away is an understatement!! I'd seen work in progress pictures so knew from these that Angie had captured Alfie perfectly but seeing the actual portrait was something else entirely!! His eyes are so alive and I feel like he is looking at me! Angie has been an absolute joy to deal with, she kept me informed through the whole process and made sure I was happy with the completed portrait before posting. The portrait was packaged so well and it felt very special unwrapping it and seeing it for the first time. I cannot recommend Angie highly enough, her work is amazing.read more
