Hello & Welcome

I'm Jo, a UK pet portrait artist based in Lincoln, East Midlands

From your photos, I create portraits that will be cherished for years. I’ll keep you updated throughout the process, ensuring everything feels easy and enjoyable from start to finish.


I work with pet owners across the UK and internationally.

Hand-painted from your photos

I can create your portrait from a clear, well-lit photo of your pet. If your portrait includes more than one pet, I can also work from separate photos and combine them together, as in the example below.


If you’re unsure what to send, my Photo Guide has some helpful tips. You’re also very welcome to send me a message if you’d like any guidance — I’m always happy to help.
