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 equine and pet portrait 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. I know how special your pet is to you!
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.
If you are thinking about ordering a painting or drawing, have a look at my information page and my price list and then contact me by filling in the contact form here or by sending an e-mail. I will reply within 24 hours.
Once your portrait is completed, a scan will be e-mailed to you for approval. No payment is due until you are 100% happy with the artwork of your pet. I pride myself in producing quality artwork and guarantee a very good likeness of your pet.
Also, you can compare several of my drawings to the reference photos they were drawn from and read more comments on the portrait gallery pages. A very good likeness is always guaranteed.
International commissions are accepted. Customers from the USA can send payment in US $ dollars via PayPal.

Do 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 in pastels,
charcoal, watercolours, coloured pencils and graphite.
Depending on the medium, I will draw your pet portrait within 2-4 weeks. I am happy to let you take part in the drawing process by scanning the artwork in progress.
Gift vouchers are available as pet portraits make unique and special Christmas present, wedding or birthday gift.
Media
The media I use for my animal artwork are pastels but also charcoal, graphite, colored pencils and watercolors. I'm always happy to discuss which medium is the best choice for your pet portrait.
