About Samantha Oliver

Hello, I’m Samantha, a coloured pencil artist specialising in hand drawn pet portraits.

Art has always been a passion of mine, and over the years I have developed my skills to create detailed coloured pencil portraits that celebrate the pets we love. Every commission is drawn entirely by hand using professional coloured pencils, with each portrait receiving the time, care and attention it deserves.

I understand that our pets are more than just animals. They are family, loyal companions and a huge part of our lives. Whether you are commissioning a portrait to celebrate a much loved pet, mark a special occasion or remember a companion who is no longer with you, I aim to create a piece of artwork that you will be proud to display.

I work from your chosen photograph and carefully build each portrait layer by layer. No filters, digital effects or AI are used. Every portrait is individually hand drawn, making each commission completely unique.

I currently offer A5 and A4 coloured pencil portraits, with a usual turnaround time of between 2 and 6 days depending on my current workload. Once completed, your artwork is carefully packaged in a protective cellophane sleeve, secured between two pieces of sturdy cardboard and posted by next day delivery in a Do Not Bend envelope to help ensure it arrives safely.

Thank you for visiting my website and supporting my work. It is a privilege to create portraits that celebrate the special bond between people and their pets, and I look forward to creating something truly special for you.
