Testimonials

"I’m a veterinary dentist, and I initially met Mia when I commissioned her to prepare some graphic design images for me to support my company branding, and charts to use clinically. I follow her on Instagram and love all of her work. When my beloved cat Evie died suddenly, I knew Mia would be the person to produce a bespoke piece for me to remember and honour her. Mia captured Evie’s essence perfectly. The initial design was beautiful, but I was able to add a few further suggestions which Mia added in. The final result is perfect and bought a tear to my eye when I collected it. Evie now sits above my desk and watches me work. I can’t thank Mia enough for capturing Evie so beautifully."  
– Dr Rachel Perry, Perry Referrals, Specialist Veterinary Dentistry.

"Impressed by Mia's talent, I asked her to paint a picture of my recently departed cat, Chandon. Sending her a favourite photo I had taken on my phone, Mia returned with an amazing painting that perfectly captured Chandon's essence. Since then, I've commissioned seven paintings from Mia for friends and family, with more in the pipeline. I highly recommend reaching out to Mia to showcase your loved ones on the wall. Moreover, Mia offers extremely reasonable rates for her original artwork" – Jacqueline, Brighton.

How does delivery work?

When the painting is finished, you can collect it from Uckfield, East Sussex (UK) free of charge, or you can arrange delivery. For example, you may wish to use Royal Mail or FedEx to collect the painting and deliver it to your address. Mia will package the painting for you in a box using bubblewrap (no extra charge for packaging). We recommend that you purchase delivery insurance as it will cover you in case of damage during transit. We know it's a bit unusual to have to arrange your own delivery, but Mia can help you do it if you need guidance.

What is the returns policy?

Due to the unique and personalised nature of our service, we do not offer returns in the same manner as a typical online store. Your pet portrait is categorised as 'Custom Made Goods' under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015. This classification reflects the bespoke nature of each artwork, tailored specifically to your requirements. To ensure your satisfaction, we have a preliminary step in our process. Initially, the artist will provide you with a preliminary sketch based on your specifications. This is your opportunity to request any amendments to ensure the final product meets your expectations. If, at this stage, you are not satisfied with the sketch, you can request a refund of your deposit. This policy is in place to give you confidence in the direction of the artwork before proceeding further. However, once you have approved the sketch and the order is finalised, the commission becomes non-returnable and non-refundable. This policy reflects the custom, labor-intensive nature of the artwork, which is created exclusively for you. We encourage open communication during the sketch phase to ensure your final piece is as envisioned. Thank you for understanding that this policy is a necessary part of offering a bespoke art service. We are committed to working closely with you to create a piece that you will cherish.

Do you deliver outside the UK?

Yes, but the delivery costs outside of the UK can be quite high. You can look up delivery prices yourself on FedEx or UPS (collection from Uckfield, East Sussex, UK) or we can do it for you - just click "get a quote", fill in the form and we'll get back to you.
