The artist
Hello, I'm Julia
I am an artist based in South Africa. With lifelong experience in a variety of creative mediums and professional training as a 3D artist, I turned my focus to traditional oil painting in 2023, specialising in animals.
A chronic creator, I also handcraft my own frames, giving each pet portrait an extra warm touch.

Send me a few photos of your pet and I'll reply with a mockup. The painting takes a minimum of two weeks.
