Being asked to capture a furry family member in pencil is always a pleasure and I would like to thank each and every one of my clients for allowing me the privilege of drawing their beloved pets.

If you have liked the pencil artwork that I have done for you, I'd love to know what you thought of it.

Dolly

"You've succeeded in capturing Dolly's personality in your drawing, through her eyes, expression, her fluffy ears; it's beautiful and faultless. It was a wonderful gift, thank you for your time and attention to detail. I love it."

Lindsey J, Southampton.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Monty

"Well, Meg - what can I say?
Brother-in-law got the picture today, and to say he was delighted is an understatement.
It wasn't just the technical likeness, but you had achieved the sheer character of Monty - he was somewhat overwhelmed. You even got the stumpy teeth perfectly - he used them for chopping trees!"

Dave B, Pickering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sugar

"I recently commissioned a portrait as a surprise gift for my husband of his 'no.1 daughter' Sugar, our Patterdale Terrier. I received regular updates of her progression and even from the first sketch Sugar was replicated perfectly. From the few photos I sent, Meg managed to bring Sugars character to life, capturing her personality without ever meeting her. All I can say is if you have ever wondered if it was worth the expense of having a pet portrait commissioned, for yourself or for a gift, then the answer is "yes without a doubt" where Meg is concerned."

Appollo

"I saw some of Meg's work and was amazed at the detail in her drawings. I asked Meg if she would be able to do a drawing of my dog Appollo who was with us for 10 years but sadly had to be put down.

The drawing was going to be a present for my wife so we could remember fondly the fun times we had as a family with Appollo. I sent a few photos and Meg has managed to capture the "sparkle" in Appollo's eye. The attention to detail is remarkable. I would have no hesitation in commissioning another drawing and would highly recommend Meg. Thank you Meg."

Ricky M, Leuchars.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Swift

"Had to gasp and became emotional as we opened the envelope, what a realistic drawing refecting his character. What a talent you have. Thank you so much."

Jane C, Leicestershire.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Japanese Akita

"I got in touch with Meg for her to do a piece for me with a Japanese Akita, but had no picture or photo for her to work from. She truly is gifted, as she used different images to compile the work of art that I gave to my girlfriend as a birthday gift. To say she loved it would be an understatement. It has pride of place in our front room. A wonderful gift that is always commented on and admired. Thank you for all you hard work in a short space of time."

Chris S, Aberdeen.

 

 

Willow and Fly

"I asked Meg to do two commissions for me, one A3 of my parent's two dogs, and the second, A4, of my partner's parents' dog for Christmas. She was extremely helpful and professional throughout, advising me as to the quality of photos she required in order to do the larger drawing, and providing me with draft drawings periodically to ensure I was happy with the progress of the works. She also had the difficult task of imagining one of the dogs back legs, as it was obscured within the photo, which she then drew perfectly. Meg made every effort to ensure the commissions got to me on time, particularly as post was unreliable due to the heavy snows, both of which arrived in time for me to get them framed as well. Both sets of parents were delighted with them and couldn't believe how detailed and accurate the drawings were to their own specific dog. It will be hard to top these Christmas presents next year!"

Clare A, Lampeter.

 

 

Poppy

"I had seen Meg's drawings in the past and had always admired them. Then when I knew she was commissioning them, I knew I had to get one for my Grandma's birthday. She completely captured the nature and look of my grandma's cat, Poppy. It now sits pride of place in the lounge for all friends and family to see! I must say she has had many people admiring it and asking how they could get one done! If there are any pet lovers out there, which I know there will be; these drawings will forever capture the essence and spirit of your pet! And I would personally recommend a drawing by the most talented Meg!"

Lucy S, Halifax.

 

 

 

 

Shadow

"I'd seen Meg's drawings before and decided it would be a great gift for my mum for Christmas. My dog Shadow is quite an unusual looking dog and thought it would be quite a challenge. She did a superb drawing of him however and it was perfect when I first saw it. I'm really looking forward to giving this as a gift for Christmas."

Dave A, York.

 

 

 

Molly, Megan and Tess

"I sent Meg a couple of snap shots I had taken of my mum's dogs. She contacted me immediately and we discussed what I wanted and she gave me some ideas (I had never had anything like this done before). Meg then did a couple of quick sketches which she emailed to me. I sent back my approval and in no time at all I had the hard copy picture in my possession. I framed it and gave it to my mum as a Christmas present. She absolutely loved it and it is now hanging pride of place on her livingroom wall. Meg really captured the dogs’ personality, it is all in the eyes I think."

Hazel N, Aldershot.

 

 

 

Tye

"After having received the fantastic sketches of Megan, Molly and Tess, I asked Meg to do another sketch, this time of my partner's dog Tye. Meg had just started drawing white dogs and she once again did an absolutely fantastic job of Tye. She really caught the real Tye. He sometimes doesn’t take a good picture so I sent a few snaps of him to her for her to pick from and she selected my favourite picture. All in all I can thoroughly recommend Meg. Her art skills are second to none. She is able to draw these fantastic pictures without actually seeing the dogs and yet able to capture their personality. Her service is prompt and her prices are very reasonable. Ideal gift for any animal lover. I wish her all the best in the future."

Hazel N, Aldershot.

 

 

 

 

 

Whiskey

"A fantastic piece of artwork, incredibly accurate and lifelike and very much enjoyed in full view at home. Couldn’t wait to get it framed!"

Daniel P, Halifax.

"What a beautiful drawing, Whiskey's fur looks amazing. I am a fan of Pollyanna Pickering and this looks equally as good. One very talented lady."

Loretta B, Siddal.

 

 

 

 

 

Rusty

"I commissioned Meg to draw my son’s pet Jack Russell cross. It was absolutely lovely; she really caught the mischief in his eyes. They were delighted with it. Thank you very much Meg, you are very talented. Best wishes."

Dorothy T, Cullingworth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fergus

"Meg was extremely helpful all the way through the process from allowing me to combine bits of several photos to use, to emailing updates as the sketch progressed. I'm so impressed with the resulting picture which is so good it could be a photo of him and it's a lovely reminder of my kitty who is very sadly missed. The picture will take pride of place on my stairs where Fergus liked to sit. Thank you so much."

Jo J, Leeds.

 

 

 

Red

"Meg I am so glad that I commissioned you to do Red's portrait. Having seen your work already I knew that the picture would be excellent but the way you captured Red's expression and character is amazing. Everyone who has seen this picture loves it. Thank you once again for such a wonderful reminder of a wonderful, faithful dog."

Melanie P, Cyffilliog

 

 

 

Jodie and Jack

"I commissioned the drawing of Jack & Jodie as a surprise gift to my husband on our wedding anniversary. He absolutely loved it, Meg managed to capture the true essence of our dogs, it is a stunning piece of work which we will treasure for many years. Throughout the whole development of the drawing, from just a selection of photos, Meg involved me in the process, sending progress reports and 'sneak previews'. It was definitely worth the effort and I wouldn't hesitate to commission another drawing from her and would recommend her to anyone considering it."

Fiona J, Hertfordshire.

 

 

 

 

Freeway

"I am contacting you to thank you for the beautiful drawing you have done of Freeway. He was very special to me and my Daughter Karen ,who had so much success on him show jumping throughout the west country. We struggled with the decision to have him put down but at 30yrs old his quality of life was suffering. But now we have a beautiful life like portrait of him, thanks to you."

Bob T, Wiltshire

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Charlie

"I recently commissioned a pencil drawing and have been stunned by the professional service and amazing quality of the work based from just a couple of photos. This is one talented young lady! Thank you so much!"
