Wildlife Portrait Commissions
As a lifelong nature lover I know how beautiful it is to bring wildlife into a home through artwork, even better if it is a bespoke piece that really resonates. An original drawing that reflects a personal interest and connection with the natural world makes for a unique gift to mark a special occasion such as an engagement, wedding, anniversary, retirement, or birthday; or why not treat yourself.
I can be commissioned to create an original graphite wildlife portrait of your chosen animal(s).
You can see portrait examples and more information below. Further portrait examples can be found in the Gallery.
“Graphite produces timeless artwork that is full of heart, with a unique and beautiful depth that is hard to recreate through other mediums or through the use of colour” – Kate Priestman, 2023

Materials and finishing
All drawings are produced using the finest materials and acid-free paper. Portraits are mounted in a neutral/off-white window mount, with an acid-free back, ready to fit into a frame. I am also able to frame your artwork if required for an additional fee of £35. Frames are black, handmade in the UK and use wood from sustainable UK sources. Frames are supplied with clear perspex rather than glass (visually, perspex provides an identical finish to glass).
Payment terms and timing
A 40% deposit is required upfront when commissioning the drawing. The remaining balance is due when the drawing is complete and before I post it out to you. I will update you as I go along, and I will also email over a photograph of the final piece before it is sent.
Please note that portraits typically take three to four weeks to turnaround (up to eight weeks for a large portrait) and there may be a wait until I can start the commission, depending on existing commitments at the time of booking. Please keep this in mind if you have a fixed deadline. An estimate of the turnaround time will be provided when booking.
