Ivy 🕊️

A custom fine art piece created with Faber-Castell Polychromos colour pencils on a 25.5cm plywood round (1.2cm thick). A sleek satin varnish adds the perfect protective finish to every single detail.

Knowing that this special keepsake is safely home & loved by its family is the absolute best part of what I do. Thank you for trusting me with Ivy’s memory 🤍.

Bringing the beautiful Ivy to life on wood!

Hand-drawn with so much love using Polychromos pencils. There is nothing more magical than watching a beloved pet’s personality shine through the wood grain. I hope this forever tribute brings a lifetime of smiles to Ivy’s family 🌈 🐾

Keeping a beautiful memory alive forever...

Stepping back to the drawing board with a full heart today 🤍

After a gentle break to process losing my own sweet dog, it feels grounding to be holding my pencils again.

I’ve been quietly chipping away at the first of 8 custom pet portraits on my desk - a surprise cat piece that is almost finished, which is hidden for now! 🤫

I also have a completed secret dog portrait from my last batch waiting for a final reveal once it's safely with it's family.

Thank you all for your immense patience & lovely messages while I’ve been away. It's so good to be back.

On Monday morning, my precious dog Bella passed away. My heart is completely broken & I am struggling to find the right words but I wanted to share her beautiful face with you all.

She was my constant companion, my absolute best friend & a massive part of my soul. Everything feels so empty without her & my family & I are navigating an incredibly heavy wave of grief right now.

Thank you for filling my life with so much unconditional love, my sweet girl. Rest peacefully, my darling Bella. The house is far too quiet without you here but my heart will hold you close & love you forever 🤍

I am sorry if I am a bit quiet on here for the next wee while but I do plan to share some work soon.

When the portrait looks so real you have to give it a sniff!.

Miss Zephyr was the lucky winner of my pet portrait giveaway & her mum sent through this beautiful photo of her posing with her custom plywood round. She shared the sweetest reaction:

"Holy heck you are so talented! I absolutely love it. I showed Zephyr straight away & she tried to lick & sniff it."

There is truly no higher praise than a dog’s approval.
Thank you so much for the wonderful update! 🫶🏼

From the reference photo to the wall.

Capturing Zephyr’s defined, muscular build on this 43cm plywood round was such a rewarding process. Every detail of her short coat was hand-drawn using Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils, then sealed with a premium satin varnish.

Click through to see how she looks displayed on the wall, the actual scale in my hands & her original reference photo! 🐾

Drop a ❤️ if you love how this custom piece turned out!

Bringing the beautiful Zephyr to life for my giveaway winner.

This 43cm plywood round took a lot of love, Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils & some serious bass in the studio.

Turn the volume up & wait for the drop to see her full reveal! 🐾✨
