For Pets With Big Personalities (and the People Who Love Them)
They’re family, chaos, comfort, and personality all rolled into one, and I capture that in every brushstroke.
Hand-painted watercolour portraits (no digital shortcuts), created from your photos. Dogs are my thing, but I love painting all kinds of furry friends.
About me
Hi, I’m Steph Southward
I’ve been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve created everything from animals and horror-inspired pieces to portraits of female footballers. But nothing quite compares to painting pets.
There’s something special about combining my love for animals with my passion for watercolour. It’s when I feel most inspired, and where my work really comes to life.
Every portrait I create is given real time, care, and attention, from the smallest markings, to the little expressions that make your pet them. I focus on the details that matter, so each piece feels personal, not just accurate.
I feel incredibly proud that people trust me to capture their furry friends — whether it’s to celebrate them, remember them, or turn them into something truly lasting.
