About the artist
Growing up in a household filled with pets, I’ve always loved animals. When I discovered my love for art and creativity I had an idea to combine these two passions by creating my first coloured pencil pet portrait drawing. This sparked the beginning of my art career, years later, I feel honoured to have drawn bespoke portraits of many pets from across the world. Recently I have started painting portraits of wild animals from countless beautiful species of the world. I enjoy raising money to support endangered animals and fund conservation projects.

Carol from England. (April 2023).
“I was given Jennifer's details by our dog trainer, and what a joy it has been to work with her. I wanted a portrait of our dog as a present for my husbands 70th birthday. I contacted Jennifer and she very quickly got back to me with costs and timings. She sent me updates as the portrait took shape. When I went to collect the portrait I was blown away, it is so life like. My husband couldn't have asked for a better present - thank you so much Jennifer, you are so amazing at what you do”.

Moira from England. (September 2023).
“My family were thrilled with Jennifer’s portrait of our much loved and mischievous labrador Basil. The process was so simple and all done via email. Jennifer replied to every query almost immediately and clearly explained what was required, the timescales and costs. I was given an opportunity to make any changes before the piece was finished including options with mounts and frames. The framed picture arrived extremely well packaged.”

Amber from U.S.A. (December 2023).
“She took great care into her packaging to deliver from the UK all the way to Texas, USA, and even gave a video of a Timelapse she carefully put together so that we could enjoy the process! On Christmas, my boyfriend was blown away by the skill Jennifer had put into creating a piece of Smokey…he stated that “this was the second best gift [he] has ever received, second to the actual cat.”

Mariano from Argentina. (September 2023).
“My partner has comissioned Jenny to create a portrait of my dog, who passed away some years ago, as a gift. I currently live in Argentina and the artist had no problem to send it straight to my flat. I always spend some time looking at the draw remembering some great memories I had with my first best friend.”

Ben from U.S.A. (April 2023).
“I will start with Jen is beyond professional and beyond amazing. I commissioned her to do a cat portrait and she involved me every step of the way. I’m in the U.S. and my piece made it to me perfect with the most beautiful handwritten note (which was amazing Jen!)
I would recommend 100 stars if possible!” -

Maxine from England. (April 2023).
“I recently went on a safari and was amazed at the wildlife. So I commissioned Jennifer to create a lion painting for me. I was absolutely amazed at the detail of the painting and how realistic it looks. It feels like I’m gazing into the eyes of a real lion. It takes pride of place above the fireplace in my living room…an incredible piece of artwork that I will cherish forever.”
