Animal portraits and wildlife art
Commissions
Animals play an important role in our lives, offering companionship, comfort, and unconditional love. They become cherished members of our families, sharing in our joys and sorrows, and significantly shaping our daily experiences. Creating portraits of these beloved creatures allows me to provide a lasting tribute, capturing their unique personalities and the special bond we share. These artworks not only commemorate our time together but also provide a tangible reminder of the joy they brought into our lives, allowing their memory to endure long after they have passed. Through these portraits, we celebrate their life and the indelible mark they leave on our hearts. I can work with you to create the perfect portrait that you will treasure for a lifetime. I offer coloured pencil drawings and acrylic on canvas paintings of your animals, and in addition I can create memorial pieces incorporating subtle rainbow bridge backgrounds and angel wings.
Wildlife art
I love to draw and paint wildlife with coloured pencils and acrylic on canvas. My original artwork and limited edition prints can be purchased from my Etsy shop:
I am also happy to take wildlife art commissions, contact me with your ideas or photographs:
Testimonials
Ben Berlyne
“I had two animals painted by Susan Hammond.
The Peahen was painted on canvas and the image looked like three dimensional image of my Peahen standing in my garden .
The image was outstanding was like a 3 dimensional photograph and every aspect of the peahen was captured , it was picture perfect .
Susan is a very gifted artist and her eye for detail is second to none.
My Parrot was the second image I asked to be painted and she was able to capture with every detail of the plumage was perfection , the feathers around the parrots face are nearly hair like and Susan duplicated every detail of her fine plumage .
I was asked for photo of my parrots eyes and they were painted exactly as my parrots eyes are.
Susan Hammonds art work is picture perfect , your canvas comes to life and you see your pet as true to life in every detail.
If you get Susan to paint or draw your loved pet , the image she paints and draws truly captures your pets essence of life .
Truly remarkable.'“
