We will always try to meet deadlines for special occasions, but during busy times of year it may not be possible to complete the artwork itself. In these cases, we can send a personalised printed gift card containing all the details your recipient needs to know. It can be sent either to you or directly to the recipient. We offer two flexible options:

  1. Full Portrait Voucher: You choose the photo, portrait size, medium, and make full payment. The recipient receives the finished portrait once it’s completed. Ideal if you’d like to plan everything in advance.
  2. Flexible Value Voucher: You choose the amount you'd like to gift and send us a favourite photo for the voucher card. The recipient can then decide all the details, including size, medium and extras. Either you or the recipient can pay the remaining balance later on.

The BEST Present

A bespoke portrait is a thoughtful, unique and prestigious gift. Unlike mass-produced items, a custom portrait is one-of-a-kind, created with care and attention to detail. It captures not just an image, but emotion and presence—something to be treasured for a lifetime.

Absolutely. A custom pet portrait is one of the most thoughtful and unique gifts you can give. Whether it’s for a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or in memory of a beloved pet, it shows care and consideration far beyond anything mass-produced. Our gift vouchers are perfect if you’re unsure which photo to use or want to let the recipient be part of the process.

The price of a pet portrait depends on the size, medium (pencil or oil), and number of subjects. Our pencil drawings start at £250 and our oil paintings begin at £755. Every portrait is a bespoke piece of art, created with care and professional materials. You can view our full pricing page here.

We believe so — and so do our clients. A professionally hand-crafted pet portrait isn’t just a picture; it’s a heartfelt tribute, a keepsake, and often a treasured memory of a beloved companion. Unlike a photo, a portrait captures emotion, personality, and spirit in a way that lasts a lifetime. Our clients regularly tell us it was one of the most meaningful gifts they’ve ever received.

Prices for pet portraits in the UK vary widely depending on the artist’s experience, the style of work, and the level of detail. As professional full-time artists with over 28 years of experience, our pencil drawings begin at £250 and our oil paintings start at £755. Each portrait is bespoke and made to order using the highest quality materials. You can explore our UK pet portrait prices for more details.
