The Artist
I love drawing wiry or curly fur, especially spaniels ears. and work with colour pencil for the great level of control they allow and a richness of colour and detail. I’m based in Bedfordshire and draw every day alongside my Horsefield Tortoise, Herbert, a little escape artist, and a Guinea Pig called Dylan who is my true furbaby.

I had this portrait done just over a year ago for Franks 12th birthday. Today would be his 13th birthday. The portrait is all the more poignant now he’s passed, as we look at it with happiness rather than heartbreak. I’m so glad we had this done while he was still so full of life. Many thanks, it means so much!! View this artist

The customer service was exceptional. We were kept informed every step of the way about our portrait and replies were prompt. Karen’s work was truly exemplar. She captured every tiny detail of Nanuq.

Love the portrait of my two Lhasas. It’s captured their look and their personality exactly. How do they do that from just a still photo? I must also praise the customer service. There was a full discussion by email checking little details and I was able to ask, if they could draw Taffy’s ears a bit longer because the groomer had got a bit carried away. Would I recommend Tilly & Blue. ABSOLUTELY! View this artist
