Commission an original painting

  • My Work

    With my detailed life-like artwork I aspire to capture the beauty and character of each subject, from beloved pets to wildlife.

    I work in Acrylic and oil paint on fine linen or wooden panel. My work is of the highest quality, using the finest materials and all paintings are varnished and supplied ready to hang.

Testimonials

  • My husband and I are absolutely delighted with our pet portrait of Daisy. Karen has truly captured her spirit and it looks even better in person. Everyone who has seen the painting is amazed by it. Karen is unbelievably talented and we are so blessed to have this beautiful quality artwork that we will cherish forever. I would not hesitate to get Karen to do another pet portrait for us in the future and I think it would make an amazing gift.

  • Words and photos don’t do the portrait justice. It completely captures Stella, especially her eyes. It’s such a good likeness to her specifically, not just a generic white dog. It’s absolutely stunning and it’s something I’ll treasure until the day I die.

    - Laura Cahill, Dublin

  • Karen painted my dog recently and I was speechless. It wasn’t just a painting - it was him. Every detail, every expression, every bit of his personality came through. I’ll treasure it forever.
