Original Hand Drawn Portraits & Artwork by Samantha Oliver

Welcome to Samantha Oliver Artist, where I create hand drawn commissioned portraits alongside my own original artwork.

My commissioned work includes detailed pet portraits and people portraits, individually drawn from your photographs using coloured pencils. Whether it’s a much loved pet, your children, a new baby or several generations of your family together, I create each portrait by hand with close attention to the features and little details that make the subject recognisable.

Alongside my commissioned portraits, I also create original one of a kind artwork using a variety of traditional mediums including coloured pencils, acrylic paint, permanent markers and oil pastels.

Everything you see here is created by me by hand. My artwork isn’t AI generated or produced using digital filters.

Pet Portraits

Commission a hand drawn coloured pencil portrait of your pet from a favourite photograph. Each portrait is created individually with particular attention paid to their expression, colouring, fur and distinctive markings.

Available in A5 and A4, with options for single and multiple pets.

People & Family Portraits

Turn a photograph you love into an original coloured pencil portrait.

I create portraits of babies, children, adults and families, carefully drawing each person by hand from your photographs. They can be commissioned as something special for your own home or as a personal gift for someone you love.

Original One of a Kind Artwork

Explore my collection of original artwork, including large statement canvases and smaller pieces created using different traditional mediums.

Unlike my commissioned portraits, these pieces begin with my own ideas and are created as individual works of art. Once an original has been sold, that piece is no longer available.

Artwork Made to Mean Something

Whether I’m drawing someone’s much loved pet, creating a portrait of a family or working on one of my own original canvases, every piece is created individually by hand.

For me, that’s an important part of what makes original artwork special. You’re not buying something mass produced. You’re choosing a piece that’s been created by an artist, one drawing or painting at a time.
