About Me

Welcome! I'm Viara, I've always had a love for drawing, but creating pet portraits has become my favourite way to combine my passion for art with my love for animals. Every commission is approached with the utmost care and attention to detail because I know how much these portraits mean to the owners who receive them. I am based near Windsor in the South East of England, where I hand-draw each portrait from my home studio. My family has always shared a love for animals and our cat Thomas is a much-loved member.

I am passionate about drawing highly realistic, life like pet portraits, using coloured pencils. Capturing the unique character and personality of every pet is what I enjoy the most. I also offer graphite portraits for those who prefer a classic black and white finish. Every piece is carefully hand drawn using the highest quality professional-grade materials.

It is truly an incredible feeling to know how someone’s face will light up with joy when their beloved pet comes to life before their eyes! This is why drawing a pet portrait is always a very special and exciting journey for me. I made the process really simple, you can find more here: Commission Process.
