Welcome to Petfolio - Painting Your Portraits

. . . a portrait of an adored pet will make a uniquely personal and treasured gift for a dear friend, for one of the family or indeed for you . . .

My name is Joy and I live on a narrow boat on the Grand Union Canal. For me, it is the perfect lifestyle, because I am so close to our fantastic British wildlife, they are my neighbours!

I paint, in watercolour, pets from photographs to an extremely exacting standard. To see some examples please visit the Portrait Gallery link, where you can view a few of the portraits commissioned by my clients.

Portraits can be of the head, full body, groups and any animal will be considered! I am happy to discuss your requirements further should you wish.

. . . a photograph can copy a moment in time exactly, but a portrait can capture the essence and spirit of a character . . .
