Kind words about my work
My wife surprised me at Xmas with a picture Rachel had done of our English Springer Spaniel, Strider in coloured pencils. I honestly thought it was a photograph at first! It is so beautiful and the best present I have ever received.
It hangs over our fireplace in the lounge and we get so many lovely comments when people visit. Rachel takes great pride in her work and communication is superb. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for her beautiful work.

I found Rachel on Facebook last year and knew immediately that I wanted to commission a portrait. She was prompt with communication. I was able to send her ideas right away of what we were looking for. Working with Rachel was so easy!! She encouraged us to provide feedback as the portrait came together.
We couldn't be happier with how it turned out! Having Rachel capture our pups (one of which we lost to cancer) was so special. We will treasure this always!!
