Pet Portraits are a very special way of honouring your furry or feathery friend.
My name is Sandra Palme - I'm an award-winning professional pet portrait and equine artist, specialising in handmade custom pet portraits mainly in pastels, charcoal, graphite and coloured pencils. I also offer watercolour pet paintings.
I would be happy to create a lasting memory of your dog, horse, pony, cat or any other pet from your favourite photos. It is my goal to capture your pet's personality and essence as well as their looks. International commissions are accepted.

Please take a moment to browse my PET PORTRAIT GALLERIES for some examples of my equine, canine, feline and wildlife artwork, including head studies, full body and group portraits.
Your photos
Your custom pet portrait will be drawn from your photos.
The better the photo, the better the artwork. All that is required is at least one good picture of your pet that you can e-mail or post. Here's some info on how to take a good reference photo.
