Bold, expressive portraits lovingly created as unique statement artworks
I’m best known for my bold, expressive dog portraits. These powerful, one-of-a-kind paintings are not only truly recognisable as your dog, but they go beyond surface likeness to capture personality, presence, and emotional connection.
At the heart of each painting is love - the unique way your dog looks at you. That expression, that bond, is something only you experience, and it’s what makes these portraits feel deeply personal and alive.
Many clients tell me that this is what makes the painting so special - that it feels as though their dog is still with them, even after they've gone.
While dogs make up the majority of my work, I also accept a limited number of commissions for other animals that hold deep personal meaning.

The Investment
This reflects the time, care, and creative focus involved in producing a one-of-a-kind artwork.
To make the process comfortable and unrushed, the investment is spread across stages — beginning with a booking deposit to secure your place, followed by two further payments: one before your painting begins, and the final balance once it’s complete.
The most popular option is the 60 cm painting. It is the optimum size for my signature portraits full of splashes and pattern, designed to hold visual weight and presence within a space. Painted on a specially prepared wooden board and framed in a real wood contemporary floating frame.
If you want to really make a statement, this 1m beast is for you! This format gives us plenty of space for some serious splashing and ultra-detailed work. It will blow your socks off! And fast become he focal point in your home. This beauty is painted on a chunky canvas board without a frame.

The whole process from start to finish has been wonderful!
Other Animals!
Although there are a lot of dogs featured here, I do take commissions for lots of other animals too!
This colourful Sulphur-crested cockatoo was painted specially for a lovely Australian couple living in London who wanted something to remind them of home. They picked out colours they wanted to include , and I brought him to life with my unique painting technique.
Sarah was a real pleasure to work with. She was very professional and made sure that the style and colours were what we wanted, without overwhelming us with choices. She has made a painting for us that is now the best piece of art in the house. It makes me happy every time I look at it.
Each animal deserves
their own space
I only paint one subject per painting as each animal deserves their own space.
Although I realise some of you would prefer 2 doggies on one painting it just doesn't work with my technique and style. It is much better to give each one my full attention and capture their unique character without them fighting for attention. If you want 2 or more, please add more paintings at time of booking.

"Barney is stunning, I am absolutely thrilled to bits!
Thank you Sarah, Barney is famous!!!!"
"It has been a truly wonderful experience, I don't quite remember when I was last so excited about gifting a present. Sit back and smile, knowing you have such an incredible gift that makes so many so happy." Louise
"This was the first time I've commissioned a painting and I have to say the whole process was a great experience, from working with Sarah to choose the best images for the commission, through the frequent updates on progress, to receiving the painting itself! My husband is absolutely delighted with 'his boy' and Loki's likeness and personality just jump out from the canvas. We love it!" Lesley
“From the very beginning of the commission Sarah was so easy to deal with. I needed a bit of help getting the right light and size of picture for Sarah to capture all the detail and Sarah provided this without hesitation. After a few rounds of vetting my photography skills, we settled on a pic. As the commission developed Sarah provided progress updates with pictures so I could see the transformation from start to finish which was fantastic to see.
When it arrived and I could see it in real life I couldn’t have been happier! The commission was a gift for my wife’s birthday. She was delighted with it and Jimmy now hangs in our hall at the front door so our family and friends can see him first when arriving. We’ve recently taken another furry friend and once he’s fully grown, we won’t hesitate to have another commission done by Sarah of him.” David
“Sarah was excellent at communicating with us during the entire process of having Winstons’ picture painted, checking in on style, colours, format and providing regular updates. Linda was absolutely blown away with your painting. You captured his best quizzical pose in such a unique style. Thank you so much!" David
"My experience with Sarah has been simply wonderful. From my first contact with Sarah to the excitement of seeing our special painting in person, it has felt like working with a friend. Each step of the process was easy and fun." Thank you, Chris
