Every piece is drawn with care, from your pet’s whiskers to your wall. With a background in textile design, I make art that’s beautiful, personal, and interior-worthy.
When you order a Justine Draws portrait, you’re not just getting beautiful artwork...you’re getting a story. If you share a photo of your pet’s favourite spot (the beach they sprint to, the park they explore, the backyard they guard), I’ll weave it (complimentary!) into the piece using my signature collage style.
Every pet has a world they love... a favourite sunny spot, the park where they run free, the beach where they dig their happiest holes. When you send me a photo of your pet in their element, I weave it into their portrait as a beautiful collage-style backdrop. It’s not just a likeness; it’s a memory, a feeling, a place you’ll never forget.
These thoughtful extras turn each artwork into a one-of-a-kind keepsake that captures your pet’s personality and their story - so you can hold onto it forever.
This all started with a portrait of my own dog a gift for my husband that turned into something much bigger. With a background in textile and print design, I approach every portrait with a designer’s eye and a whole lot of heart.
I don’t just draw pets. I create meaningful, personal artwork made to live beautifully in your space — capturing the quirks, charm, and soul of your furry best friend.

My dog is a little older now, so he’s brown hair has turned grey, but it will always be a great reminder of him. Highly recommend, a great birthday and christmas present
Justine, thank you so much for the beautiful drawing of my boy Diesel. I miss him every single day, and seeing him brought to life in your artwork meant more than I can explain. You didn’t just draw his face - you somehow managed to bring out his spirit, his warmth, that familiar look I knew so well. It’s something I’ll always hold onto. I truly appreciate the care you put into it, and I’d recommend you to anyone looking for something personal and real.
I got a portrait done by Justine as a gift for my parents, who are totally obsessed with their two dogs - and honestly, I wasn’t expecting such a strong reaction.
When my parents saw it, they were completely speechless - they actually cried happy tears. It’s more than just something to hang on the wall; it truly means a lot to us.
Justine is AMAZING! She drew my dog Cooper and I’m still in awe - it looks exactly like him! Every little detail, from his goofy smile with his tongue hanging out to the sparkle in his eyes, is perfectly captured. I seriously couldn’t be happier. The portrait is now my favorite thing in the house and I catch myself smiling every time I walk by it. Justine has a magical talent and clearly pours her heart into every piece.
If you’re even thinking about getting art of your furry friend - DO IT! 1000/10, highly recommend.
I couldn’t be happier with the hand-drawn portraits that Justine created of my 2 cats, as present for my partner. She captured their personalities perfectly and the detail and care put into the artwork is incredible. It’s clear that every piece is made with genuine love and talent. I’ve known Justine for years from when we worked together, and it’s been so lovely to see her passion turn into such a special small business. If you're looking for a meaningful, custom piece of art to celebrate your furry friend, I can’t recommend her enough.
With over five years of industry experience and a background in hand-drawn illustration, I bring a thoughtful, detail-driven approach to every design I create. My specialty? Translating creative direction into commercially successful, production-ready textile prints and graphics—across both fashion and homewares.
Commissions typically take 4–8 weeks from the time I receive your order. This time frame may vary based on the complexity of the piece and my current workload. I work on multiple projects at once to ensure each piece gets the attention it deserves.
Once your artwork is approved, please allow up to 3-5 business days for shipping. Delivery times vary depending on location and carrier, especially around peak seasons (hello, Christmas)
Before portraits, I worked in fashion and textiles — designing prints, obsessing over colour palettes, and learning how to style with intention. That background shapes everything I create now. It’s not just about drawing pets; it’s about crafting artwork that feels right in your home.
My work blends thoughtful design, trained technique, and real emotion. From paper texture to tonal balance, every detail is considered to create something personal, meaningful, and truly you.
I’m not a traditional “art world” artist — I’m a creative through and through, and this is how I stay grounded. The work I create is full of heart, connection, and personality. And at the end of the day, it’s about making something you’ll love seeing in your space, every single day.
I believe art should be timeless, heartfelt, and deeply personal - not mass-produced or trendy for the sake of it. I’m building a brand rooted in warmth, design, nostalgia, and real connection. Every part of the experience matters to me - from the artwork itself to the wrapping, the packaging, and the feeling you get when you open it. I’m not trying to imitate anyone else’s style - this brand is an extension of who I am: A creative with a soft spot for interiors, a love for animals, and a belief that good design tells a story.
I offer a range of portrait styles to suit different tastes and budgets - from bold, highly detailed digital pieces to quiet, elegant pencil sketches. I don’t limit myself creatively, because that’s what keeps the work true.
This is more than just pet portraits - it’s the start of a broader creative vision built around interiors, textiles, emotion, and stories that last.
If you love your pets, love your space, and want something that feels like you, then you’re in the right place.
Thanks for being here - I can’t wait to create something special for you.
Just pets! Animals are my happy place - their quirks, expressions, and the way they love us without words. Drawing people feels a bit too much like homework (and less like joy), so I focus my energy where it flows best. If you’re after a portrait that includes a person, I might not be the right fit - but if it’s furry, feathered, or four-legged, I’m your girl.
Please refer to our returns policy
Both! It depends on the package you choose. The Timeless and Keepsake packages are traditional pencil or coloured pencil on paper. The Statement package is hand-drawn digitally - no filters, no AI, just me, my tablet, and lots of layering.
