What do people say?

Emma has drawn all three of my dogs over the past few years and each one is a perfect likeness, capturing their characters perfectly. I would (and do) recommend anyone looking for a portrait of their pet to go to her.

Patrick

Emma’s artwork is stunning, what a talent. We received a gift from my mum of a pencil drawing of our dog Pippa. Myself and my husband were blown away at the likeness, it brought us to tears. It’s hanging proudly in our living room.

Rosie & Rupert

Emma’s art is beautiful and timeless, she has truly captured my dog’s character and spirit, her attention to detail is second to none, she has an awesome talent. I love our picture!
