A Christmas gift for the dog or cat lover.
A hand-drawn portrait of their own pet, from your favourite photo. Drawn in pastel and coloured pencil in the Far North, matted and ready to frame, with free shipping anywhere in New Zealand. Order by 30 November for Christmas.
A finished portrait, or a voucher.
Both make a lovely present. Choose whichever suits the time you have and how much of a surprise you want it to be.

Made by hand
Every portrait is an original drawing, signed by Diane, not a print or a filter.
What they’ll unwrap.
Mini $100 · Standard $250
One pet on a simple one-tone background, matted to fit a standard 8 × 10″ or 11 × 14″ frame. Free shipping anywhere in New Zealand. See full prices.
What’s the last day to order for Christmas?
30 November. That leaves time to draw the portrait (allow 2–3 weeks) and post it to you before Christmas.
I’ve missed the date. Can I still give a portrait?
Yes. A gift voucher can be emailed the same day, even on Christmas Eve. They choose their favourite photo afterwards and the portrait follows in the new year.
How do I get a good photo without spoiling the surprise?
Look through their social media, ask a family member to send you one, or take a few yourself next time you visit. Send me a few options and I’ll help you pick the one that will work best.
Does it come ready to give?
Each portrait is mounted in a white mat on backing board, sized to drop straight into a standard 8 × 10″ or 11 × 14″ frame, so all you need to add is a frame. Shipping is free within New Zealand.
Order by 30 November.
Send me a photo and I’ll reply with a confirmed price and a date, in time for Christmas.
