My Artistic Journey

I'm Chloe, I am a pet portrait artist based in Birmingham. I have always been a huge animal lover, and this has been part of who I am for as long as I can remember. From a young age, I was either drawing or spending time with our family dogs. Creativity has always been central to my life, which led me to study Fine Art at university. After graduating, I continued drawing as a hobby, something that has now grown into my dream career.

Growing up surrounded by animals, I've always been fascinated by their unique personalities and the unconditional love they bring to our lives. Each pet has their own story, their own quirks, and their own special way of touching our hearts. Through my art, I aim to capture not just their physical likeness, but the essence of who they are.

I believe there's something magical about hand-drawn art – each stroke carries intention, each detail is lovingly crafted, and the final piece holds a warmth that digital art simply cannot replicate. Every portrait I create is a labor of love, designed to preserve the precious memories of your beloved companion.

Chloe Working on a Portrait

My Specialisation

I specialise in custom pet portraits, created on a commission basis. My style is detailed and realistic, capturing not only the likeness but also the personality of each animal. Upon request, I love incorporating flowers and other personalised touches into my portraits, making each piece truly unique.

To ensure the highest quality, I work with professional-grade materials, including Caran d'Ache Luminance and Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils, pan pastels, and fine paints. Using the best tools allows me to create vibrant, lifelike artwork that will stand the test of time.
