Hello and Welcome!

My name is Melanie Phillips and I am a professional Pet Portrait Artist with over 14 years experiance. I specialize in highly detailed, traditional hand painted portraits of pets in pencil, and in oils on canvas. I work along side my husband Nick in our studio. Nick is also a pet portrait artist, we met at art college and he specializes in pastel portraits. You are able to commission each of us from this website, and you can visit Nicks websites via my galleries too.

Both Nick and myself provide The Full Package. If you are looking to commission a portrait of your pet, all you need to do is email your photos and we will do the rest! I can provide you with a hand painted or drawn portrait in oils or pencils and Nick can provide you with an exquisitely drawn pastel portrait of your pets, or Family Portraits in pencil. We provide all pastel and pencil portraits with gallery standard mounts/matts and backing board as standard and we offer a full, traditionally crafted, framing service too. Not forgetting professional prints of your portrait all delivered safely to your door - worldwide. If you have a spare minute perhaps you could take my survey?

You have full Input...
You are able to have as much input as you require from start to finish. Some clients like to email us their favorite photo, make payment in our pet portrait shop and let us do the rest for them. Other clients like to have greater input and we discuss their ideas and work closely with them to create the composition, medium and framing that they desire.

Clients can customize their commission down the the last detail and we have plenty of options to suit everyone's taste and budget. All clients can view their portraits progress on our work in progress pages and we often take photos of ourselves working on the paintings too. Once the artwork is complete you will receive a high resolution scan or photo of the artwork for approval if any changes need to be made we will be happy to do so.

Your pet is unique...
From chatting over the years with clients they tell me time and time again that there are many pet portrait artists out there to choose from, however our portraits really do look and feel like the owners pets. We put this down to many years of experience of painting and drawing pets, along with having a good grounding at illustration college specializing in painting animals and wildlife, studying anatomy, fur, expressions etc as well as having experience in other forms of art too. If you would like your pet drawn or painted within a scene we are experienced in creating natural and realistic scenes.

We are able to capture, with accuracy, the essence and character of each individual pet and we believe that is what elevates our work above the crowd. There are over 300 of my pet portraits in the Pet Portraits Gallery showing lots of detail, along with the photograph I worked from. They are all previous commissions from very Happy Customers. You are more than welcome to take a look around my website, or visit Nicks websites below and don't hesitate to contact us at any time. We look forward to working with your soon!
