Pet Memorial Portraits To Honour Your Cherished Companion
Losing a beloved pet is a deeply personal experience, and finding a meaningful way to remember that special bond can be difficult. A hand-drawn pet memorial portrait offers a gentle, lasting tribute that reflects your companion’s personality and the love you shared
A Personal and Timeless Keepsake
Each memorial portrait is hand-drawn in graphite pencil, created with careful attention, patience, and respect for both the animal and your memories. Using graphite allows for a soft, timeless quality that feels calm, reflective, and heartfelt, ideal for commemorating and remembering your pet.
Why Choose a Memorial Portrait?
A memorial portrait isn’t about replacing what has been lost. It’s about honouring their life and presence. Unlike a photograph, hand-drawn art carries the intention and care of the artist, bringing forward the emotional essence of your companion.
Created with Care and Sensitivity
Every portrait begins with your photographs. You don’t need the “perfect” image. It’s more important that the photo feels meaningful to you. I’ll happily guide you in choosing reference images that capture your pet’s unique character.
I work at a thoughtful pace, allowing the portrait to unfold naturally. This careful approach ensures each piece feels personal and respectful, not rushed or mechanical.
A Comforting Tribute or Thoughtful Gift
Memorial portraits are often commissioned as a personal keepsake, but they also make compassionate gifts for others who have lost a pet. Each piece is individually drawn with the same care, regardless of size or subject.
How to Commission a Pet Memorial Portrait
Commissioning a memorial portrait is a simple and supportive process. Once you are ready, you can send a small selection of photographs and choose your preferred size. From there, the portrait is carefully hand-drawn in graphite pencil and prepared for delivery.
There is no strict timeline, the process is handled with flexibility and understanding.
When You Feel Ready
There is no right moment to commission a memorial portrait. Some people feel comforted doing so soon after a loss, while others wait until memories feel gentler.
If you’d like to ask a question, talk through options, or simply understand the process, you’re very welcome to get in touch. All enquiries are handled with care, patience, and understanding.
A Gentle Note

Losing a beloved pet is deeply personal, and the bond shared often feels impossible to put into words. A pet memorial portrait offers a quiet and lasting way to remember the presence, character and individuality of an animal who meant so much.
Each pet memorial portrait is drawn by hand in graphite pencil, created with care, patience and respect for both the subject and the memories attached to them.
A hand-drawn pet memorial portrait is not about replacing what has been lost, but about honouring it. Working from your photographs, I focus on expression, posture and subtle detail; the small things that feel familiar and meaningful.
Graphite pencil allows for softness, depth and restraint, making it particularly well suited to remembrance artwork. The monochrome Pet Memorial Portraits finish creates a timeless piece that feels calm, reflective and personal.
