The photos are often taken very close so that our clients and visitors can view all of the fine detail Nicholas puts into his amazing pet portraits.

framing & Extras

All of our frames are tailor made. We work along side three framing companies whose methods combine the very best of traditional techniques and luxury materials. We have access to countless mouldings in a variety of styles and finishes to choose from. We also offer our clients guidance and advice based on our extensive experience in framing our paintings and drawings over the last 22 years. We can provide Engraved Plaques in gold, silver and bronze too. If there is something specific you would like, just let us know.

Gift A Portrait & Our Art Studio

Often many clients who are purchasing a pet portrait as a gift leave it a little too late to schedule time for the portrait to be painted or drawn. So its often best to make all of the arrangements with us using our Gift a Portrait service. Read more about our Pet Portraits Gift A Portrait.
