“I got in touch with Monica after a period of time searching for someone to paint a portrait of my girlfriends dog who was sick. Monica was extremely helpful with what I wanted done and and it reflected with such a beautiful painting that was so real! I would highly recommend anyone looking to get a pet portrait done to contact Monica :)”

“I was blown away by my painting of Zoe. The care and thought put into the painting by Monica throughout the whole process was way beyond my expectations. You should entrust a painting of your beloved pet to no other artist.”

“Thank you for capturing the beauty, fun nature and spirit of Maggie & Ruby. The level of detail captured in the portrait is incredible. So much better than the actual photo. You did an amazing job and when I laid eyes on my gift it brought tears of happiness especially with Ruby’s recent passing. Thank you once again.”

“Thank you so much Monica from the bottom of my heart for the portrait of my beloved miniature schnauzers, Rosie and Millie. It was certainly a pleasant surprise Christmas gift from my partner Dan, and I was totally knocked over by the painting. The attention to detail was fantastic and you have certainly nailed Rosie and Millie and captured their cuteness and cheekiness! Thanks again Monica and the painting is taking pride of place in my house.”

“Hi Monica We just wanted to say a big thank you for all your hard work and patience with the Monty portrait. Charles loved it this morning. Monty is a lot bigger older now – so it’s lovely to have this memory of our first months with him as a teeny, sweet pup. Best wishes”

“Monica is a very talented artist who is genuinely passionate about capturing the essence and personality of each individual animal in her beautiful art. She provided frequent updates with photos and actively sought my input on the finer details of the painting to ensure the finished product was perfect. I cannot recommend a better artist than Monica to paint your special pet or loved one!!!”

My sister and I were looking for someone to paint a special gift for our mum, who we haven’t seen all year due to lockdown, when we came across Monica’s website. We were drawn in by how realistic and natural her work looked. Having never commissioned a painting before, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but from the first email she sent I felt comfortable and confident with how it would turn out. Monica is so warm and friendly and just wonderful to deal with. I felt she really cared about making the painting amazing, down to the little details, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It will be a piece of art we will cherish for many many years to come. Thank you for painting such a beautiful portrait for us!”.

I recently requested a painting from Monica of my mums beautiful dog Jazz. Monica was so helpful, and she provided a beautiful artwork which my mum was absolutely thrilled with. In Monica's artwork, she was able to capture the character of my mums beloved dog through a lifelike and vibrant painting. Jazz, can now be remembered through this beautiful canvas painting. I highly recommend Monica for your portraits, and I will certainly be requesting more portraits from her in the future. Thanks again Monica.

Monica did a superb job of the painting of our beautiful dog Candy who was killed by a snake. Exquisitely detailed, the painting of our beautiful Labrador captured perfectly by Monica. If you are looking for a pet portrait you can’t go wrong with Monica. Thanks so much Monica.

My colleagues bought me a pet portrait of my beloved Westie Gracie from Noah's Ark Paintings as a farewell gift. The portrait is just gorgeous and I am so taken with how well Monica has captured her likeness and essence. It really looks exactly like her. We are beyond impressed and would recommend to anyone looking for a pet portrait.

I am also deeply appreciative by the thoughtfulness and generosity of Monica's time, and the regular communication throughout the process to ensure we were happy as the painting came to life. We wholeheartedly recommend this artist to anyone seeking a truly exceptional piece of art.

We are so happy with Monica's painting of Cape. It captures her youth and her joy to be alive. It appears to be three dimensional. Her eyes sparkle. Thankyou so much! we'd recommend Monica to anyone who wants a beautiful portrait memento of their loved animal.

Monica painted a beautiful, almost photorealistic portrait of our family dog, Bella, that exceeded all expectations! The painting is a beautiful keepsake that we will cherish forever. Monica was wonderful throughout the whole process – accommodating requests, sending updates and making sure it arrived on time for my sister’s birthday. She is evidently passionate about animals and that comes through in the care and attention she pays to detail. Thank you so much Monica!!

We commissioned a portrait of our dear four legged family member Holly for my father’s birthday. Monica did a fantastic job and really captured the essence of Holly in her artwork - Dad loves it and the work now has pride of place on the wall! Also, Monica’s professionalism was second to none, providing us with several progress updates along the way. Highly recommend. Thank you Monica!
