Pet Portraits by Animal Artist Jenny Coates

"I grew up in Berkshire, surrounded by horses and dogs, and began drawing my pets to pass the time when I broke a leg in a riding accident. Before long, friends were asking me to draw pictures of their pets too; and by the time my leg plaster was removed, my Pet Portraits business had begun."

"I work in an office full-time to pay the bills, but I like to spend my free hours drawing, and running in the woods with my dog. I also like to travel, and I've begun to draw more wild animals while overseas."

Jenny Coates can draw a portrait for you in pencil, coloured pencil or chalk pastel on a variety of backgrounds. If you aren't sure what kind of portrait you'd like, Jenny can advise after looking at your photographs with you.

Pet Portrait Project Time Scales

Jenny likes to begin work on a portrait a month before it is due. But in special circumstances, Jenny can complete a picture in a week to ten days.

Please contact Jenny in plenty of time, particularly if you are considering giving a picture for Christmas, which is the busiest time.

Jenny will contact you when the drawing is finished to arrange collection.

Customer Satisfaction

If you are unhappy with the portrait you are under no obligation to buy.

The drawing will be an impression taken from the photographs you supply, and the best way to imagine how it will look is to view the galleries of Jenny's work.

All Jenny's portraits are drawn with care, and with attention to the details that bring out an animal's character.
