Received my pet portrait and it is absolutely amazing, fantastic service from start to finish kept me updated of the work in progress would highly recommend.
Had a very beautiful portrait completed by Jo of my cat Louis. She has really managed to capture him perfectly and kept me updated daily on the progress. So much care was taken from start to finish - from selecting the reference photos to instructions on how best to unpack the completed piece. Wonderful commission experience and so pleased with the finished work!
Joanne is an amazing artist. The portrait of my 3 cats was so lifelike it brought a tears to my eyes. Excellent communication throughout, with daily updates of the portrait to make sure we were happy with its progress. It arrived very well packaged. Will definitely be using her services again.
Jo drew my beautiful Maine Coon Aslan who died a few years ago. It took me a while to commission something because I miss him so much. Jo managed the process very sensitively and the result is just amazing! I'm now searching for a frame which shows him off properly. Thank you so much Jo!
Response : I'm so pleased you're happy with him Trisha. I know you've found this a very emotional journey.
Jo managed to catch the very essence of who she is drawing. It’s like she’s captured Walter’s very soul. He’s quite a character and the portrait absolutely reflects that. Incredible artist and the fact that she sends daily updates so you literally see him come to life on the page in front of you.
Response : He's been a pleasure to draw. Especially with my knowing his character. :-).
Jo has recently done two fabulous portraits of our pet dogs. The images are incredibly life like, stunning infact! She sent updates of the work in progress every day which we all loved to see (and is great to look back at now they're finished) and is constantly in touch to ensure we were happy with how they were looking. Well worth the waiting list timescale and would highly recommend Jo to anyone.
Response : Thank you Nicky. I'm so pleased you're happy with them. :-).
This lady really brings your picture to life truly amazing artwork, how she managed to capture my boys character for a photograph is a pure talent. Will be booking my next one soon. Thank you so much.
Response : So pleased you're happy with him Karne. He was a pleasure to draw. :-).
Jo completed portraits of my 2 Maine Coons (one attached) and I thought the service and end result was exceptional. Prior to starting we had several emails to determine the best photo's from which she could work and also discuss any special requirements. Once started I received 3 or 4 photo updates daily with each portrait taking around 5 days in total. The likeness and quality in the end product is absolutely staggering with the portraits now taking pride of place in my house. Would highly recommend to all my friends/family.
Response : Thank you Clive, I'm so pleased you are happy with your portraits. They were a pleasure to draw.
The portrait done by Jo was no less than magnificent, she has managed to bring our little Heather back to life. The picture is so lifelike it's untrue, we are so pleased with the finished article. Jo has managed to capture her perfectly, the eyes are amazing it almost looks like she is looking at you. I have no hesitation in recommending this fantastic artist.
I have commissioned Joanne for 2 pet portraits and have joined her waiting list for a third. Her work is of the highest standard, with extraordinary attention to detail. The client is consulted on the work in progress almost on a daily basis and she provides detailed advice on handling the finished product. I would not hesitate to recommend Joanne to anyone wanted a stunning portrait of their animal.
I had seen many examples of Jo's work online before ordering a portrait of one of my cats however I was still stunned at the detail she managed to capture. Even at the first outline progress update provided I recognised it was him. Lovely, genuine lady to deal with. So many progress updates sent to me but I was still moved to tears when his portrait arrived. There is a reason there is a waiting list, because so many of us book for a second, third etc on receipt of the first! Well worth the wait for such a work of art and incredible value for money.
Jo has recently completed a magnificent picture of my late Jack Russell Terrier Roxy my family and I are over the moon with the detail Jo has captured in Roxy’s face from the photos I sent her she has an amazing talent and I have no hesitation in recommending her, it is a testament to her skill that she is booked up so far in advance but really well worth the wait thank you again Jo.
We had been looking for a portrait of our 3 siamese cats for sometime and decided to contact Joanne who had an extensive portfolio. Joanne was extremely friendly, helpful and provided us with all the necessary information, including types of photographs, background, timescales and cost. We were scheduled into Joanne's diary and when the work started we were able to view the daily developments on facebook, which was amazing. We are thoroughly grateful for Joanne and now have 3 beautiful lifelike portraits of our treasured animals at home, they are simply stunning with attention to detail quite amazing. We would thoroughly recommend Joanne to anyone requiring a pet artist and portrait.
Absolutely amazing work, I was astounded by the lifelikeness of the portrait, and it truly is a beautiful piece of work. Everyday I received updates of how the portrait was going, so I could see the progress of the piece as it was slowly brought to life. Joanne was lovely and polite as we communicated through emails, and even advised me on what to do about framing the piece, I can definetly see myself ordering more portraits in the future!
Joanne provides a great service, her pictures are excellent, you fully expect your pet to hop out of the picture it is so accurate. She keeps you fully informed and e-mails updates regularly. She is so good have ordered 2 more portraits from her of my other 2 cats.
Jo has been an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the process of her pet portrait, and I highly recommend her service to anyone. She sent daily updates on the progress of her artwork, including photos, and was frank and honest throughout. To top it all off, her work is exceptional. With Jo you get a great product *and* great service; rare qualities in todays world. Thank you, Jo!
Response : Thank you Alex. Atticus was a joy to draw. Thank you for choosing me to do this special portrait for you. :-).
