Kay Prior
Pet portrait artist & doll maker
About me
I am a Sussex based, mainly self taught, artist, specialising in commissioned pet portraits and original landscapes.
I began taking commissions for pet portraits in 2007 and have continued to serve clients far and wide, painting lasting mementoes of beloved companion animals ever since.
I offer both traditional paintings created on physical paper or canvas and modern digital works which can be sent via e-mail and printed by the customer at will.
Along side my artwork, I now also have a thriving sideline creating and selling characterful, artisan cloth dolls.
My venture into dollmaking began from a simple mission to find a traditional style "rag" doll for my granddaughter, after finding nothing to fit the bill, I tried my hand at making one and enjoyed the process (and the result)build a small army of little individuals who now have a growing band of fans and collectors throughout the UK
I live in Sussex with my husband and our dog who both keep me on my toes and thankfully tolerate the "little folk" invading the house.
How to commission a painting
- Choose from the portrait options available here
- Select or take some suitable photographs of your pet (try to get clear, outdoor, close ups and typical poses)
- Decide on the size you would like your painting to be (measure the space available and consider your budget)
- E-mail (or contact) me attaching your photos and basic details as outlined above
- I will provide a detailed (no obligation) price quote for your approval
- if you wish to go ahead, I request a small deposit and agree to complete your painting within a suitable timeframe.
- When the painting is complete you will be sent a photograph to approve and payment of the balance becomes due
- The painting will be securely packaged and delivered to you by a reliable courier service, or delivered by hand if local.
