About me
Hello, my name is Debra, a pet portrait artist based in Hampshire, England.
I studied Printed Textile Design, then from graduating went on to work in the textile and fashion industry in New York, returning to the UK to work as a freelancer before making the decision to move into teaching Textiles, Art, and Design.
I live with my husband, two children and our Border Terrier Ralph. When Ralph joined the family, my love for dogs and animals sparked a fascination in drawing them and debramhairidraws was launched in 2020.
When I’m away from my drawing board you’ll find me teaching art or walking in the countryside.
About my pet portraits
My Pet Portraits are created on a commission basis. I specialise in black and white monochrome detailed, realistic style drawings of your pet.
I use the highest quality materials and paper to create each bespoke portrait specifically; Winsor and Newton black and white Indian ink, Posca pens, Unipin Fine Line pens and Prismacolor Premier Colour pencils which enable me to achieve a high level of detail in each hand drawn pet portrait.
I love animals and love capturing the character of your pets in each drawing. A pet portrait makes a great, personal, and memorable gift for any occasion.
My Gicleé prints and cards, are available to purchase direct on my website shop or via my Etsy shop.
Please click on the commission section of my website for sizes and prices and everything you need to know about commissioning your own pet portrait.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
