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.

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

We are just stunned by Angie's work. When we saw the online photos of the two portraits we commissioned we were over the moon with them. And then the real things arrived, and we were blown away. We could hardly believe they were drawn by a human hand. The process was so easy too - Angie's communication is great, she's lovely. And the portraits were SO well packaged too. Can't wait to get them framed and up on the wall.read more

What a pity that there are only 5 stars for you Angie.....I think a whole heaven of stars would be more appropriate! You will never truly know how much your portrait of our wee fellow has touched both our hearts...a bit ott I know but very honest! You have given us a reminder of Barney that will be with us always and a little of the heartache of losing him has been eased. You seem to have the knack and talent of putting 'life' and 'soul' into your work and for that we thank you very much. I have no hesitation on recommending Angie with Love!

I came across this artist nearly two years ago and joined the waiting list. Then September this year I had an email to say I am now top and to send photos to be considered for the portrait. Well that was the start of an amazing journey which ended with the most awesome and out of this world portrait. I took Meggy to meet Angie and collect the work in question. She is such a talent, if you wish for someone to draw a piece of work for you, then look no further as you won't find a better artist. She is a one off talent. Amazingread more

I was on a year long wait-list, and when it was mailed to the U.S. customs kept Panther's portrait for another 3 weeks. But, when it arrived, and I opened it...tears of joy filled my eyes. I couldn't think of a more beautiful way to memorialize the life of my sweet dog of 14 years. Thank you Angie for all you do. �read more

I had found Angie’s art while randomly looking through Facebook one day a few years ago. I was thoroughly impressed by her work and figured I would reach out to get some prices on portraits. I remember thinking that the price was awfully high, but for some reason I could not stop looking at the portraits everyday. Finally I gave in and asked to be put on the waiting list. Flash forward about 18 months later I hear from Angie! This time I was ready and eager — no matter the cost! Angie was so helpful with choosing the right picture, and it was only a few short weeks later that the picture was complete!! We are so in love with this portrait, and it will always be something we treasure for the rest of our lives. And it should serve as a continued reminder that A: you get what you pay for, and B: it pays to be patient. Thank you so much, Angie. We couldn’t be happier!!read more

I have recently bought a Fluttering Heights print from Angie. It's a gorgeous picture of a Fox looking up at a tortoiseshell (?) butterfly. It's quite a large picture - which is perfect for us and where we want to hang it. The picture is exquisite. There's such a lot of detail in the fox's fur. It really is very beautiful. The quality of the print is excellent. I am in awe of Angie's talent! The picture arrived promptly & was flat packed, beautifully packaged - I had expected it to come in a roll! It'd be perfect if you were buying it as a gift for somebody. I thought the price was reasonable, especially considering the quality and size of the picture. In summary, I love it!read more

I cannot recommend Angie enough! We asked her to do a portrait of our Alaskan Malamute Willow. She asked for some photos and a summary of her personality. We knew their was a waiting list (a good sign in itself) but knew it would be worth the wait. Unfortunately, during the interim period we were told Willow was terminally ill. Angie very kindly pulled out the stops to get the portrait done sooner than she had indicated and what a fantastic result! The portrait is perfect in every way - the detail is stunning and, without ever meeting her, she captured Willow's personality. The perfect memory/keepsake!! We can't recommend Angie enough - 15 out of 10. Thank you so much Angie xread more

I don't know how she does it, but she captures the eyes like no other artist we've seen. Don't hesitate to book your portrait - you will not be disappointed. I can't stop looking at ours and we are just in awe. It is so so special and personal. It is priceless. I look at Rohan and he is looking back at me as if he is still here.
