About Me

Hi! I'm Caitlin, a *quarter-time* pet portrait artist.

Learn about my story and how my drawing journey begun!

Starting young...

Art was always my favourite subject in school and is my favourite hobby now. As a child, you could always find me with the giant pot of colouring pencils that my grandma had or playing with my Littlest Pet Shop toys! ​

I aspire to take the very best features of your pet and add a little bit of magic to create a special piece you can treasure. My work is realistic with a colourful, contemporary look so your pet's legacy can live on forever!

Sophie was my childhood best friend

I will forever miss her gentle and kind soul. I hope she's rolling around in the grass like she loved, over at rainbow bridge!​

Many years ago as a teenager, I drew Sophie as a memorial piece to remember her by. Whilst this piece is terrible (it's okay to laugh), it holds a special place in my heart and I hope to commission a pet portrait for your to cherish forever!

Fast forward to 2025, I've had the opportunity to draw so many beautiful and beloved pets. I work full-time so I like to call my pet portrait business my quarter-time job! Drawing really is my favourite pass-time though, so it's hardly a job at all!
