About me
Are you looking for a unique one of a kind gift for yourself or someone you care for?
I draw any pet that has fur or feathers, big or small, be it a new family member, or a dearly missed pet. Who has crossed over the rainbow.
I have specialized my art of capturing your pet's personality and little unique trades using colour pencils. It is my greatest passion to draw and create animals. I dearly love to see them come to life on paper. The joy I feel when presenting a finished portrait to a happy customer, is so fulfilling, it make me smile for days as it truly warms my heart.
My art is created with only the highest quality materials, and I guaranteed a lifetime of long lasting joy.
The artwork can be posted and shipped international as well as local. Packed safe and professional.
I was born and raised in Denmark. In my twenties I got a taste for travelling and explored countries like Thailand, Philippines, France and Canada.
I found my one true love in Canada. Who is now my husband, Matt from the sunshine state Queensland.
Matt had me convinced that Australia was the place to settle. So this is where we now live, with our two children, on a broad acre cropping property, near the small town of Springsure in Queensland.
In the 16 years I have lived in Australia, I have come to love and appreciate the open sky, the country life and the friendly people I have met.
I would love the opportunity to capture your pets personality in a unique keepsake .

Terms and conditions
The nitty gritty....
To create a hand drawn pet portrait for you, I will need a good photo of the subject
preferentially in a digital form (either High Resolution JPEG or PNG). I can draw the subject as is on the photo. If there is part of the body not shown, or covered by something, it is not possible for me to imagine what is missing. (some exceptions can be made upon request.)
I can leave out backgrounds and unwanted items in the photo also and in some cases draw a subject from one photo and add a background from another photo.
I am honoured that you are considering using my expertise and service to create a unique
piece of artwork for you. Please read the following terms and conditions.
Terms and Condition
Booking
Firstly, you will need to make a booking. I have a wait list so the sooner you make a booking the sooner you can have your portrait.
Your booking is secure when a “non-refundable booking fee” payment of $100 is made.
Once we have agreed on a photo to use, and the size of the artwork, I will create a quote and send you an invoice, I then request 50% payment up front before I put pen on paper. (the $100 booking fee will come off the 50% deposit)
I can send you a halfway picture of the work if you desire. The remaining 50% is to be
paid once the portrait is finished and before delivery to you.
postage costs included.
We can arrange a payment plan if requested.
Cancellation/Refunds
The booking fee is non-refundable.
In the situation that you wish to cancel the commission, after I have started working on it,
the 50% is non-refundable.
In the very unlikely event that you are not happy with the artwork, a refund can only be
given if the portrait is not looking like the picture. Reasons like the texture or surface was
not what you had imagined, is not a valid reason for a full refund.
The shipping and handeling is at the expense of the client and will be added to the last 50% payment. All
my artwork is packed in a very safe manner, however, should you wish,
postal insurance can be arranged for additional cost (quotes before postage). However please note that
this depends on how much you require to insure for. Australia Post usually only insures for
the amount that you state for. So, if you require the cost of the artwork to be included in
you will need to state this at time of postage quote otherwise the artwork on the paper will
NOT be covered and cannot be replaced.
Shipping international is not a problem, I have posted artwork overseas with good
experiences.
Copyright
Please note that I retain full copyright on all artwork that is produced, including mock-ups
and prints. If you do not wish your commissioned piece to be shown on my social media
or for marketing, please notify me prior to commencing.
Privacy
I will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information and the artwork to third parties.
Price Increases
My price list is subject to changes with constant rising costs. However, once you have
made a booking the total cost will be as of the time of the booking (excluding the cost of
postage which will be added in final invoice). And your portrait will not be affected by the
increase, should I make one after your booking.
Gift cards
Are valid for 12 months after purchasing.
