A warm welcome

My name is Grace Murray-Rowley. I'm a professional portrait artist with 15 years experience in helping my clients to celebrate their pets and families with traditionally hand drawn portraits from your favourite photos. I create full time from my cosy studio in the seaside town of Worthing in West Sussex, UK, and my work can be found in delighted client's homes across the globe.

Delilah, Derek & Dave

Delilah, Derek, and Dave! Very lovely names for some very lovely doggos. I loved every minute of creating this special portrait for my lovely client Evie, who sent me over various photos of her old English sheepdog family, and a photo of her garden, to create this triple portrait of them all looking very content together! As with most cases, it was pretty impossible to get a photo of them all together but that was no problem. I hand delivered this to Evie's family as I just don't trust royal mail during the Christmas period, especially with such a large piece, and then had a lovely weekend in Canterbury visiting the Christmas markets afterwards. A wonderful end to 2024. It has now been gifted to Evie's mum for Christmas, who loved it!

"Hi Grace, I just wanted to say thank you so much once again! My mum opened it yesterday and was so happy she ended up crying from happiness! She said it is the best present she’s ever received and your artwork is outstanding. We will defiantly be using you again in the future!"

I work closely with an excellent local framer who has over 40 years experience in creating beautiful frames for artwork. These frames include the finest anti-reflect, UV protect museum glass which is practically invisible, to give the best viewing experience and ensure that your portrait brings you joy for many years to come.

Watch your portrait come to life

Throughout the creation of your portrait, I document the progress with short videos compiled into a 1 minute video.

​

Longer videos with personalised messages and backing music are also available by request, these add a lovely sentimental touch to gifts.

Family Portraiture

I love depicting the strong bonds between families in my art; I'm able to merge various photos together to bring members of the family together who perhaps never got to meet in real life due to bereavement, which has been such a sentimental process for my clients.

Do you have animals in your life who are inseperable? Putting them together in their portrait creates such a special piece. The portrait of these two sausages, Mayita and Milanessa, was drawn using 2 separate photos of them.
