About Nadine Carey
I'm Nadine, a Somerset based artist specialising in photo realistic animal portraits from a simple photograph of your much loved pet drawn in coloured or pastel pencil.
Each portrait is lovingly hand drawn with care and precision, resulting in life like art work that is both visually stunning and deeply moving. I bring every whisker, hair, fur, feather and eyes to life in meticulous detail.
I believe my portraits are more that just art but heartfelt keepsakes that celebrate that special bond between human and animal.
I hold 'O' and 'A' levels in Art and Design , a HND in Graphic Design and a BEd in Art. After years in a different career I'm thrilled to be creating art again - art I love and hope brings you joy.
Having grown up with animals I understand that deep bond we share with them. I love to capture the personality, emotion and spirit of each animal , whether it is for a gift , memorial or just a personal keepsake.
I use high quality materials working with lightfast coloured and pastel pencils even acrylic paint on canvas or graphite pencil.
I am always open for commissions so please take a look at my prices and complete the booking form stating your desired size. There may be a waiting list so please mention when you'd like your portrait by.
If you'd like a larger drawing than in the list I can accommodate that too, just say.
I will email you back within 48 hrs.
All portraits are mounted within a card mount and presented within a box or for that extra special gift I can have it framed (POA)
If you can't afford the full price of a portrait I can offer pay by instalments or I offer gift certificates.
"Wow. She just arrived, we love it! I can't believe the level of detail you can get in such a small frame. Beautiful! Thankyou so much"
