Client Voices
I knew when I saw Andrea Knowles's beautiful artwork I just had to have my adorable Staffy painted.
Andrea hand paints her drawings from a photo you provide, using watercolour paints. Her eye for detail is amazing, his whiskers, the shape of his white bib on his chest is so alike. I just love it.
I have never had a dog, and now I am smitten. His picture is just beautiful, she has captured his personality so well, the way he looks at you so seriously, yet so soft.
I love my Ray - my beautiful mad Staffy 💖 I love his picture just as equally. Thank you Andrea, You have made working from home with a beautiful piece of artwork on my wall all the more pleasurable.
