Hi, I’m Katia Holmes, a UK pet portrait artist based in Cannock, Staffordshire, creating custom photorealistic pastel portraits from your photos for clients across the UK and worldwide.
At Pawtraits by Katia, I create bespoke pet portrait commissions that capture the personality, expression, and spirit of your beloved companion. Whether you’re looking for a meaningful gift, a pet memorial portrait, or a timeless artwork for your home, every portrait is created with care, patience, and attention to detail.
I work with photos of dogs, cats, horses, wildlife, and multi-pet portraits, and can combine pets from different photos into one beautiful composition.
My portraits are treasured keepsakes for birthdays, anniversaries, new homes, or to remember a much-loved pet. Clients across the UK and internationally trust my work for its quality, realism, and personal service.

Before I begin, we will confirm the size, composition, and background so everything matches your vision for your bespoke pet portrait.
Step 3 — Your portrait is created
Your portrait is carefully drawn by hand using professional pastel pencils, capturing every detail, expression, and texture in a realistic style.
Step 4 — Delivery
Once completed, your artwork is securely packaged and delivered ready to display. I offer delivery across the UK and can ship internationally.
