Welcome to Pet Traits

Dog and Cat Portraits in pastel

Our dogs and cats are our best friends, and very much a part of our family.

What a delight it is to honour our cherished family members by having their hand-drawn portraits hanging on the wall for all to see.

Pet Portraits are a perfect gift for the person who has everything! Being both unique and affordable, they are a great gift for family and friends that will be cherished forever.

Pet Traits’ dog portraits and cat portraits are not about sentimentalizing the pet with kitsch elements. In producing these portraits, Pet Traits artist, Glenda draws with absolute photographic detail.

Glenda’s clients specifically come to her for the pure accuracy and attention to detail. Her client’s often say, “I have looked at many pet portraits but I have never seen any as beautiful or as realistic as yours.”

Specializing in capturing the personality of your favourite dog or cat, Glenda’s pastel techniques gives you a life-like portrait that you will always treasure.

Pencil drawings of Homes and Old or Historic Buildings:

We spend so much time in our homes and they often portray much of our own personality. There is nothing better than, after a full day at work, coming home to relax in your own surroundings. A nice way to honour the places we live is by having a pencil drawing done so that you can hang it on the wall for all to see. Having a drawing done of our home may also become a precious memory for us if we ever have the occasion to move.

Drawings of our homes are also a perfect gift for the person who has everything! When you can’t think of a gift for either family or friends, why not organize a commissioned pencil drawing of their home as a surprise?

Old Buildings are often fascinating, whether by design, period architecture, stonework and so on. Old churches for example may hold special memories for us, or we may simply be interested in history.

Again, Glenda’s clients come to her for her pure accuracy of detail and attention to detail, while her drawings are alive and fresh.

Having your home or an old buildings drawn by Glenda, is another way of keeping your personal history as well as our architectural history alive for all time.
