All About Me
Hi, I’m Linda, and I have a Labradoodle
I live on a boat.
I love to draw.
I was a founder of the Brighton Seafront Artist Quarter, where I worked from my little studio for nearly 30 years. For most of that time, I painted big oil canvases—red shoes and the gorgeous women who wore them.
Life on a boat has a way of changing your perspective.
My dog, Bukowski, reignited my passion for capturing personality and character on paper.
Through him I discovered that I also love getting to know other people's dogs—and cats and bunnies, too. Drawing connects me to them, and to their humans. It helps me see the little details and the big feelings that make them so special, so unique.
And so loved.

The First Hello: Fill out the contact form below with details about your pet and what you're looking for. I’m happy to chat things over if you are not sure what you want, or what options would suit you best.
Choose a Photo: This can feel overwhelming. Don’t worry. I’ll be in touch to discuss your ideas, and help you select the perfect photo for me to work from. Together we can choose a photo that truly captures your pet’s unique personality.
The Details: I’ll provide a personalised quote and a timeline for your commission. Once approved, I’ll send you details to pay the deposit, and to secure your spot in my studio diary.
The Process: When I start working on your custom portrait I will update you, and confirm the expected completion time.
Finished Artwork: Once the portrait is complete, I will send you a photo of the finished artwork for your approval. After the remaining balance is paid, I’ll carefully prepare your artwork for shipping.
Shipping: I offer free p&p within the UK. Artwork is first wrapped in a reinforced, protective sleeve, and then placed within a luxury gift box. I use postal bags for added protection, and for courier labels. Parcels are sent using Royal Mail tracking services.
