"I genuinely don’t think I could put into words just how grateful I am to have found such an incredible artist to create something so incredibly special for my family. I commissioned a portrait of my childhood dog, who had very recently passed away, as a birthday present for my mum. This was an incredibly emotional and sentimental piece for me to have commissioned, as he was such a huge part of our lives and our family for so many years. I was quite last minute with my request, so I completely understood that there might not have been a possibility to fit my portrait in. However, Lauren was so unbelievably kind, understanding and accommodating and very happily took my commission on board. I genuinely cannot thank her enough for going out of her way to make it happen.
From the very beginning, Lauren was so very gentle, caring and considerate about the meaning behind the portrait. It never felt like I was simply ordering a piece of artwork, she completely understood that I was trusting her with something incredibly precious to me. She treated the whole process with so much care and compassion, and that meant more to me than I can properly explain.
Her communication throughout the entire process was absolutely amazing. She kept me updated every step of the way, talked me through the process, listened to every detail I mentioned and made sure that I was completely happy with everything before moving forward. What really stood out to me was how much she genuinely cares about giving you the best possible result. She doesn’t just create a generic portrait from a photograph, you can see she takes the time to understand each individual dog and the emotion behind the piece. She completely tailored everything to what I wanted and did everything she possibly could to capture not just his appearance, but his character and essence too. This is something I think Lauren does unbelievably well. There is something about her artwork that makes each dog feel alive within the portrait. She somehow manages to capture each little expression, feature and quirk that make each dog, uniquely themselves. Looking at the finished portrait, I didn’t just see a beautiful drawing of my dog, I saw my finnie ♡ . His personality, his charming face, and the dog that I have spent my entire life growing up with.
The finished portrait was honestly more perfect than I could have imagined. It captured him in a way that I will treasure forever, and I know it is something that my mum will keep incredibly close to her heart. Being able to give her a portrait of a dog who meant so much to both of us is such an emotional and meaningful gift, and I genuinely don’t think it would have been anywhere near as special without the care and attention that went into creating it.
If you’re considering commissioning a portrait of your dog, especially if it is to commemorate a beloved pet or create something sentimental for someone you love, I genuinely cannot recommend Lauren enough. You are not just receiving a beautiful piece of artwork, you are receiving something that has been created with an incredible amount of thought, care and love that has a story to tell.
Thank you so much for creating something that means so much to me and my family. You have given us something that we will be able to treasure forever, and I will always be incredibly grateful that you were able to capture our finnie in such a precious light. ♡"

"This week, I finally received something I’ve been waiting over a year for — and it was worth every single day. 🐾
Lucy, passed away on September 18th, 2024. That loss left a hole that I’m still learning to live with. After she passed, I commissioned an incredibly talented artist based in the UK — Lauren Hill — who had a year-long waitlist. I knew the moment I found her work that I needed her to do a portrait of Lucy.
When the portrait arrived this week, I ugly cried. She captured Lucy so perfectly — her soul, her eyes, her spirit. It’s more than art. It’s Lucy.
The talent, the detail and the love that went into this piece is beyond anything I could have hoped for."

"We are forever grateful for this stunning portrait of our gorgeous Lola 🤍 Lauren captured her so beautifully - not just her features, but her spirit, her sassy personality, and the love she brought into our lives. The detail is incredible, so life-like it feels like she’s right here with us again. This portrait is more than art - it’s a true treasure and a memory we’ll hold close to our hearts forever. Lauren was amazing to work with - she kept me updated with progress photos throughout, and I honestly couldn’t wait to open her emails each time one arrived! It was so special to see Lola’s portrait come to life step by step. I’m so thankful I found Lauren and her amazing talent 🤍🤍"

"Lauren Hill is absolutely amazing, so sweet, and insanely talented!!! I sent her a bunch of pictures of my vision and how I wanted the drawing to look (even down to the specific type of flower and colors) and she outdid herself! She was in touch with me every step of the way to make sure I was happy with it! I can’t wait to get another portrait done of my other baby! Highly recommend!!"

"I contacted Lauren looking for a special commission piece for my partners birthday, of our cocker spaniel Gus. Lauren was amazing in communicating and working with me to decide on the best picture to use and did an amazing job of keeping me up to date throughout the drawing, to make sure it was what I wanted. When the commission was complete and I saw the drawing for the first time, I was so pleased and really quite impressed. Lauren did a fantastic job and we were both so happy. I’m sure we will use Lauren again and we have already recommended to plenty of friends and family. Huge thank you again!"

"I wish I could give more stars. I found Lauren through Instagram and was instantly in love with her work. I reached out about creating a double portrait of our two family pets, who we sadly lost a little while ago, as a present for my mum. The pictures of our dog weren’t great but this wasn’t a problem for Lauren, the way she has brought them back to life for us is incredible. A genuinely lovely person with an amazing talent :)"

"Well Lauren, I don't think you will truly understand how grateful and in awe of you're talent I am. Charlie was totally choked up at his drawing and it made me super emotional watching him open it... more so because regardless of me not knowing you, understanding how much love you poured into it and that meant more. So again and again until I'm blue in the face, thank you so much for drawing a 'real life' Chilli xxxxx"

"After my beloved German Shepherd passed away in 2024, I asked Lauren to draw a portrait of him. The result is truly incredible—it captures not just his likeness but his soul, as if he’s looking right back at me. The level of detail is astonishing, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the portrait. I was so moved by it that I’ve asked Lauren to draw a portrait of another of my dogs."

"My dog passed away in 2015 and unfortunately we didn’t have so many pictures of him and whatever we had wouldn’t look great if blown up into a larger size. When I learnt that Lauren was painting portraits of dogs I immediately got in touch with her and gave her whatever pictures I had of my dog and she painted a brilliant portrait of Rex. Thank you Lauren you really outdid yourself!"
