A few testimonials from our friends
Lucy and Honey
‘Tiggy has made us a wonderful portrait to remember our beloved Honey dog. We contributed photos, memories and Honey’s special quirks which she incorporated into the portrait. The result is a very personal and emotional portrait. Thank you Tiggy‘

“We absolutely love our portrait! It was a custom made portrait of our beloved spaniel, Freddy. The portrait has masses of detail and every time we look at it, we find more new words! It sums him up perfectly! Thank you so much! x”

“Tiggy has a true talent. She has brilliantly captured the character of our two labradors, creating a portrait that is lifelike and uniquely personal. Many thanks!”

Meet the Artist Behind the Magic!
It all began by accident.
I have always adored portraits; looking at them and making them. How to capture that certain mannerism, feeling or expression. How do others approach that challenge? That’s the magic of a portrait. It doesn’t just look like the subject, you can read the personality through the canvas. But its also the hardest part to get right.
I wanted a really honest, descriptive, joyful and beautiful portrait of my children. I wanted something which would record them just as they are, just as they were, in the past, present and future, to keep forever. I researched phenomenally expensive portrait painters but had no way of knowing if these were just beautiful likenesses or if they did capture the subjects’ soul.
I couldn’t be confident of a wonderful collaboration and I couldn’t afford a mistake so I gave up looking. One day I was with a friend and started talking about my love of portraits and of how I’d love one of my children and she said – well why don’t you make one then? How ridiculously obvious! How blind we can be. So I started. It was really hard work – I’d chosen to do their faces on a large scale all with difficult expressions and I made it out of collage – my favourite medium – filling it with words, photographs and images relevant to each of them.
Well the rest is history. I made the portrait – others liked it and commissioned their own. Contact me to find out how we can make the perfect portrait for you.
