Hand-painted pet portraits by UK pet artist Ruth McGrady — created to celebrate the love, memories, and unique personality of your pet.
Why Commission a Portrait of Your Pet?
A portrait of your pet is more than that, it’s something much deeper, it’s deeper and more meaningful to the connection you have between you and your special furry friend. One client said “it was like our Indi had come home”, another said that their painting was better than a photograph as their Roxy was coming out of the painting to great them, and that how I managed to capture her softness without even meeting her.
The reason for this is that I work with people whose passion for their pets resonates with mine. This connection inspires me to create something that speaks to you each time you look at it, something that greets you, comforts you and speaks to your heart every time you see it.
Pets fill our lives with joy, comfort, and unforgettable memories. They’re not just companions—they’re family. That’s why I pour so much care into capturing their spirit, softness, and personality. My goal is for your portrait to feel alive, as though your pet is truly gazing back at you.

Best birthday present ever
“When I heard Ruth speak about her portraits and saw some examples, I knew a portrait of our dog could be the best birthday present ever for my wife. I wasn’t wrong!
Ruth was brilliant from start to finish. Regularly keeping me updated and checking that I was happy with the progress, and that the finished portrait had the desired effect. My wife burst into tears when she opened the wrapping. I couldn’t recommend Ruth and her portrait service enough!”
