Still open for business
It’s taken a few days to get my head together like most people due to all the changes happening in the world right now. But I’m still here & open for business
THANK YOU to all of you who have continued to support me & my little business, it means a lot to me and helps keep things afloat during these really difficult times.
I realise that in the grand scheme of things, ordering artwork, a mug, a cushion & even a small coaster or greetings card isn’t high on anyone’s priority list – but we all need to add a little colour and lightness to these difficult days & also send still gifts to our loved ones.
I am operating as usual & assure you that I will keep creating commissions & shipping my products for as long as is safe and allowed.
Yesterday I moved my studio contents to my home to allow me to carry on painting & I have a variety of products ready to dispatch too.
I am still working as hard as ever, although like many of you, I am also juggling working with homeschooling my children – so please bear with me if you message me!
Posting products will obviously mean trips to the post office, which as you understand need to be kept to a minimum – therefore I will aim for 2 trips a week
Please keep watching me on Facebook and Instagram if you can – i will announce new creations when they happen & give you lots of gift ideas etc 🙂
Please stay safe, stay home and stay positive if you can. Together we can all look after each other and come out of the other side of this.
After the rain….comes the rainbow!
Lots of Love,
Sarah xx

Testimonials
Sarah has produced an amazing piece of art that captures Indie our Cockapoo beautifully. The attention to detail is incredible, Sarah listened to our ideas, colours of our choice and she cleverly included a background of our favourite magnolia tree in the garden. She not only has incredible talent she is totally reliable,open and communicative and someone we would trust to paint our precious pet. Thank you.

Just wanted to show my fabulous cushion. Originally painted on canvas and turned into cushions , cards and anything you want. She also paints pet portraits so if you would like one of your favoured pets she’s you woman.
- Annette Hanrahan (Milford)
Sarah painted a beautiful picture of our beautiful Olivier. It made a lovely gift for my partner.
- Julie Podet (Edinburgh)
Sarah has painted us a wonderful picture of our dog Lily, still not found the very right spot for it yet at home due to decorating but we just love it! Sarah took the time to contact us about what kind of style/colour we wanted and we talked about traits we liked in Lily but ultimately we let her have “artistic licence” and we are not disappointed.
