Hello & welcome! My name is Mel and I am a freelance illustrator.
From a young age my love & fascination of the natural world has inspired me.
I work on commission creating Pet Portraits. I LOVE creating personalised artwork for you that captures your animals at their best, the way you want to remember them. My specialty is Working Dog Portraits - from Farm Dogs to Service Dogs! You can see previous portraits here in my 👉Gallery👈
When I’m not painting your pets, I’m working on Original illustration inspired by animals, nature, our unique NZ flora & fauna and travel. Click 👉HERE👈 to see more about my illustrative work.
My favourite mediums to work with are traditional - watercolour paint, ink fine liner pens, and coloured pencils on paper.
I use archival & professional art materials to produce high quality artwork that you will cherish for years to come. If you would like to commission an artwork in my style, I would love to hear from you!
Thanks for checking out my website!
