Capturing a lifetime of memories

Illustrated portraits hand drawn & painted.

In this day and age we take more photos than ever before, yet they rarely reach our walls. 

Portraits By Pip is here to transform your memorable moments into watercolour portraits. Finally reaching our walls and becoming a lifetime keepsake.

Growing up I always enjoyed the process of creating. From drawings, paintings, pottery, music and wood work.

Weekends would turn into various art projects out in the backyard with my Dad. He always inspired me and fostered my creativity and imagination. My watercolour portraits reflect the care and consideration my Dad applied to his own creative pieces.

I am now a Mumma of 3 young Desert Peas and continue to express myself in many creative ways. I want my girls to grow up learning that creativity doesn't stop at a particular age. It simply grows with you.

Creativity is just a brushstroke away.

She has created many gorgeous paintings to mark many special life moments for us - Easter with friends who are like family, my pregnant belly & later on her first birthday with my Mum.
