Portraits
Pet Portraits - Rather than just a portrait of a pet, my aim is to turn it in to a work of art expressing the individuality and nature of the animal.
Portraits - Below is a multi-media portrait I did for a child’s second birthday. (The name and date of birth have been blurred for privacy). The parents are from Australia and the US so I wanted to incorporate this in to the painting (including the child’s foot and handprint) and create a work of art that will still be relevant for years to come.
If you would like your pet or someone near and dear to you immortalised in a painting, commissions are welcome.
The paintings on this page give an indication of the type of works that could be created.
All American Bulldog
On first sight most people cross the road to avoid close proximity to this bad-boy, but the tough exterior hides a heart of gold. Making his mark in Hollywood, he can be seen cruising the streets of LA and relaxing on the beach in Santa Monica.

Herr Hund
Born in to a wealthy family, Baxter had the upbringing many dogs could only dream of. Here, his suave, sophisticated style is complemented by the Mr Koya ‘Monet’ shirt. Despite having all the advantages of a privileged life and classic good looks, Baxter remains accessible to his adoring fans.

Shady
Having survived growing up on the streets, this tough little dog has made his way in the modelling world with his rugged good looks and determined nature. Here he is sporting the Mr Koya Party Popper shirt, expressing the wild side of his nature while remaining cool and distant to the casual onlooker.
