Commissions
Your favourite things, made into something to keep forever.
Some things are just too special to live only in photographs.
A much-loved dog with ears that never quite sit the same way twice. The house where your family grew up. A favourite view that instantly takes you back somewhere. Or the battered teddy that has been dragged everywhere, cuddled every night and loved almost beyond recognition.
I create one-of-a-kind commissioned artworks using my signature mix of pen drawing, watercolour, carefully chosen Liberty fabrics and free-machine stitching. Every piece is drawn and made by me in my West Kirby studio, capturing not just what something looks like, but all those little details that make it yours.
Pet Portraits
A3 £245 · A2 £345
For the dogs, cats, horses and other four-legged family members who deserve their place on the wall.
Working from your photographs, I create an original portrait full of personality — from wonky ears and scruffy eyebrows to a particular expression you know instantly.
These make incredibly special gifts, but you absolutely don't need an occasion. Sometimes you just want a beautiful piece of art of the little face you love seeing every day.
Each portrait is an original artwork, created especially for you using pen, watercolour, Liberty fabric collage and free-machine stitching.
Places & Buildings
A3 £245 · A2 £345
Some places mean far more than bricks and mortar.
It might be your first home, the house where your children grew up, a favourite holiday spot, a wedding venue, a much-loved family home or simply a building that holds a hundred memories.
Send me your photographs and tell me a little about why the place matters to you. I'll turn it into a completely original piece of artwork, drawn, painted, collaged and stitched in my own style.
A lovely way to remember somewhere that will always feel a little bit like home.
Little Keepsakes
A4 £145 · A3 £245
Because sometimes the most precious things are the slightly grubby, well-worn ones.
A childhood teddy, comfort blanket or favourite toy might not look particularly important to anyone else — but to your family, it can hold an entire childhood.
I create original keepsake portraits of these much-loved treasures, preserving all the worn patches, funny shapes and little details that make them so special.
They make beautiful gifts for birthdays and milestones, or a lovely way to capture a little piece of childhood before everyone grows up far too quickly.
Please don't wash the teddy first. The well-loved bits are the best bits.
How it works
-
Choose the size & send your photographs
Choose the type and size of commission you'd like, then send me a selection of clear photographs along with anything you think I should know about your subject.
-
Tell me about your subject
For pets, tell me about their personality and the little things that make them them. For houses and places, tell me why they're special. And for treasured toys, I want to know their name too — because obviously they have one.
-
Pay a deposit
I will send you a link to pay a 25% deposit for your agreed artwork.
-
I get to work
From there, I'll create an original Jenny Dunlop artwork especially for you. You pay the remaining balance on collection.
