I’m inspired by all those little moments dog people know by heart: the sideways glance, the wonky sit, the expression that says they definitely didn’t do it. Those are the quirks I love to paint, because they’re what make your dog unmistakably yours.
Meet the
Artist
I’m the artist behind Poochini, painting dogs from my Nottingham studio. Elegant, scruffy, soulful or slightly ridiculous, I’m interested in the little quirks that make each one unmistakably themselves.
Every piece is drawn and painted by hand using a combo of charcoal, pencil, acrylic and oil pastel. Perfection isn’t really the point. I’d much rather capture a familiar expression that makes you say, “That’s exactly them!”
From Studio
to Wall
Whether you're commissioning a portrait, choosing an original painting or finding a fine art print, every piece begins in my Nottingham studio.
I paint with an eye for character, capturing the little quirks, expressions and details that make each dog unmistakably themselves.
From the first sketch to the finishing touches, it's all about creating something a little different from the ordinary.

A Nod
To Your Dog
Elegant, scruffy, soulful or slightly ridiculous, I’ll paint the little quirks that make your dog unmistakably them.
Whether it’s your own dog taking centre stage or someone else’s starring in a very special gift, I’ll turn your favourite photograph into a painting that captures them in all their glory.
Ready when they are.
Painting personality first. always.
