About me
Hello, I’m Rachel Stubbs, a pet and wildlife artist based in beautiful Mid-Devon, UK. I work in oil painting, pastels, and sculpture, creating original pieces inspired by the animals that shape our world — from majestic horses and wild creatures to much-loved pets. I also specialise in sand sculpting, bringing large-scale, temporary artworks to life at festivals and events across the UK and Europe.
My creative work is driven by a deep love of animals and a fascination with their spirit, character, and quiet stories. I’m drawn to the subtle details — the expression in the eyes, the energy in a posture, the personality behind each creature — and I work to capture that presence in every medium I use.
Whether you’re exploring my collection of original artwork or considering a bespoke commission, my aim is always the same: to create something personal, meaningful, and lasting. A piece that honours the animal’s essence and brings warmth and joy to the space it enters.

How to get your own pet portrait
- Fill out the contact form to request your commission.
- I’ll reach out to you to discuss details, confirm pricing, and give you an estimated timeframe.
- Once everything is agreed, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your spot on the waiting list.
- When it’s time to begin your portrait, I’ll get in touch to confirm start date, estimated completion, and shipping time.
What do you need from me for a portrait?
A good, high quality photo where the light shows your pet in their true colouring.
If your reference photo has been taken by a professional photographer you will need permission from the photographer for me to use it.
How does payment work?
A 50% deposit at the time of booking, secures your portrait slot. Then the remaining 50% upon completion.
I am happy to offer a scheduled payment plan if that would work better for you, just ask when booking.
Can you use 2 different photos for a double portrait / Can you paint my pets together if the photos were taken separately?
Yes.
Your pets don't need to be posed or photographed together for me to replicate them in art. I can put together a piece using multiple photos and make them look as if they have been posed together.
How should I frame my portrait when I receive it?
I would highly recommend visiting a professional framer and asking their advice on this, as they will be able to guide you in the best method of framing to compliment the piece.
Can I get my deposit back if I change my mind?
No — deposits are non-refundable because I reserve that time for your project and decline other work.
