About me

My name is Natasha and I have always loved and found most comfort in two things: painting and animals.
I started my art journey in 2014 graduating from The Glasgow School of Art in the UK, and have since pursued all things art.

My first Pet Portraits were gifted to friends and family and since I have gradually discovered my passion and meaning in painting watercolour Pet Portraits on commission full-time. Painting has allowed me to meet and work with clients from all over the world and build a portfolio of more than two thousand completed commissions and hundreds of amazing feedback for which I’m endlessly grateful.

When painting a Pet Portrait, I’m fully dedicated to creating a unique and precious piece that perfectly reflects my subject's appearance and personality and captures a lifetime of love.
I believe that the essence of a soul is captured best in the eyes, it is why I pay great attention to representing them as accurately as I possibly can in my art.

Having painted many loved animals through the past years, I have finally felt confident enough to take in as a subject some of the most beautiful and majestic wild animals, a project in which I find great inspiration and the utmost respect for nature's wonderful gift of animal diversity.

I am excited to soon reveal my first series of Wildlife paintings, painted with acrylics on canvas, which will be available to be purchased as originals and Giclée prints by the end of the year. 


Book a Portrait

In order to book a commission, simply purchase from the section bellow and I'll get in touch via e-mail to gather your reference photos. Alternatively, you could  fill out the ‘contact me’ form below so we can discuss your portrait. 
I take full upfront payment on small sizes and 50% deposit on big sizes in order to book your painting. Once paid, the deposit is non-refundable unless an unlikely event prevents me from doing your piece. The balance will be due on completion. Commissions can be purchased directly in full via this section, in which case I will contact you to discuss reference photos and time frame.
At the time of booking, I will give you an approximate timescale of when you can expect your portrait. From the date of the booking to your expected start date it is worth trying to get some good photos (see photography tips below).
Please note that in order to do a piece justice I can only work from good quality photos and reserve the right to turn down anything I do not deem suitable.

Photo tips

  • It is best to use photos of your animal outside in a natural light.
  • Preferably taken on the pet level (eye level) and ensuring that the picture is fully in focus.
  • Make sure you send the photos in their original format (don’t crop or edit the photos) as this can decrease the size and resolution of the image.
  • Send the images as an attachment.
  • Ultimately, the decision is yours on what pose / look you want from your animal as you know their personality and what portrays them best!

Your painting will not be completed and sent until you are not 100% happy with it. Below are some of
more than 800 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ five-star reviews from Etsy and commissions.

Natasha is truly talented. The painting looks exactly like our dear Charlie ❤️. Natasha is very friendly, very professional and the overall customer service is 10/10. Everything was completed in the timeline Natasha gave me and delivery only took a few days despite us living in the UK! I’m absolutely over the moon with the painting and the overall experience. I’d highly recommend Natasha!!🥹

The painting that she created exceeded my expectations and it brought tears to my girlfriend's eyes when she saw her pup captured so well. The progress photo that was included was great. It arrived much quicker than expected. Couldn't be happier. Thanks so much!

Natasha did an INCREDIBLE job. Our parents bawled when they saw the painting. None of us could believe how much it looked just like the dogs. She really captured the essence of them through their eyes, expressions and the detailed fur. We were all so impressed and are thinking about ordering other portraits for our relatives now!
