5 out of 5 starsI wish I could give 10 stars! Excellent communication throughout the process. The finished project far exceeded our expectations. The portrait we ordered is perfect! We have a very happy grandpa on our hands. Thank you to Catherine for helping us continue this family tradition!

5 out of 5 starsCatherine did a lovely pencil version of my parent's wedding photo - just in time for their 60th anniversary. She was happy to do a couple of minor reworks to make sure the final piece was just right. Everyone loves it. Picture is now over the mantlepiece in their flat.

5 out of 5 starsCatherine is a great artist. She created a beautiful portrait of our grandchildren from a couple of images. Our correspondence was very straight-forward - her replies always prompt and clear. The finished portrait arrived on time and well packaged. I'd thoroughly recommend Catherine.

5 out of 5 starsI commissioned a portrait of my father - who passed away in May of this year - for my mother for Christmas. It turned out amazing. Catherine did an amazing job, and when my siblings had a few tweaks they wanted changed, she was more than willing to work with us. I would be lying if I didn't admit I shed a tear or two when I opened the package! The end result was a perfect likeness of my father (and his grin) that will compliment the charcoal portrait we currently have of his father - my grandfather - perfectly. I would recommend Catherine's work to anyone I know!

5 out of 5 starsThis is a lovely portrait of our family, taken from two different photos, even re-aligning one face to match the others. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 starsCatherine is an incredible artist. We were thrilled with the portrait she did of our family. We were amazed at her ability to capture each family member's characteristics. She was wonderful to work with during the process. She quickly completed the portrait and shipped within the time frame indicated. I highly recommend her!

5 out of 5 starsCatherine took the time to draw my beautiful baby girl who was stillborn one year ago. For her Heavenly 1st Birthday, I wanted a sketch of my beautiful baby girl. I'm so glad I found Catherine. Her amazing talent brought my daughter's picture to life and has really put a smile on my face. Catherine is amazing!

Frequently asked questions
How does it work?
1. Place your order and upload your photos. When selecting photos, please check that:
-They are high-resolution and in clear focus.
-The faces are in good light and capture a good likeness.
-Include extra photos if you would like me to combine features from multiple pictures in order to create your ideal image.
2. Choose size, number of figures and checkout.
To order a custom size or add other details such as wording or a background, please contact me.
3. When your portrait is completed, I will send you a preview for your approval.
4. Finally, the finished portrait is sprayed with fixative, set within a card mount, carefully packaged and shipped to your delivery address.
How will my portrait be framed?
Your portrait will be mounted in an off-white card mount of a standard size, making it easy for you to choose an off-the-shelf frame.
Care instructions
Pastel drawings are very vulnerable to smudging and need to be handled with great care. Your portrait will be finished by a spray fixative and shipped with protective papers. It is recommended that you frame your portrait under glass as soon as possible to preserve its appearance.
