Pet portrait and wildlife artist

About Me

Hi there, I am Viara - Faith and my love to draw has been part of me ever since I could hold a pencil. I love to draw pets, people, wildlife and everything irresistible and beautiful in between. I am based in the South East of England (near Windsor) where I was born and grew up with my little sister Leona, who by the way is totally obsessed with cats…. well just like me  Our Thomas is the most adorable little gentlemen on the planet and we simply can never have enough of him!

I am really passionate about drawing highly realistic, life like pet portraits, using coloured pencils. I also offer black and white pieces for a more classic look. I have always had a deep affection for animals and it is no surprise I wanted to recreate their beauty through my art. Having the privilege to draw some of my friends and family’s pets has led me to where I am now, creating for pet lovers all over the world. Click here to see some of my latest portraits.

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 it here: Commission Process. Once you have decided what kind of portrait you would prefer you can check my Prices List. I ask of you to send me some really great quality photos, so I can capture the true likeness and character of your awesome pet. A few weeks later you will be holding your one of a kind portrait that I am sure you will love and cherish forever.

I would love to hear from you and will be more than happy to assist and help with any questions or ideas you may have. Contact me here
