Why Choose a Custom Pet Portrait from Hannah Kelly?
Every pet has a personality that deserves to be remembered. Some are playful and mischievous, others are elegant and soulful, and some are beloved companions who have sadly passed on. My goal as a Glasgow pet portrait artist is to capture that uniqueness in a way a photo never quite can.
But don’t just take my word for it. Here’s why my clients choose me for their custom pastel pet portraits, in their own words.
I Capture Every Whisker – Lulu the Cat

Thank you again for creating such a special piece!”* Cat, October 2024, London
Thoughtful Gifts for Colleagues – Mario the Tuxedo Cat

I enjoyed working with Hannah so much that I’ve asked her to commission another drawing for another colleague!”* Gail, September 2024, UK
