Art has been a lifelong passion. After refining my skills at Newcastle Art College and raising a family, I now enjoy creating deeply personal pieces for my clients. I find inspiration in the spectrum of colour and emotion that surrounds us.
My goal is to capture the unique character and spirit of my subjects, revealing the hidden rainbows within seemingly monochromatic hues. Whether working with pastels, oils, or pencil, I strive to create artwork that evokes a profound emotional connection.
Delve into the world of intimate portraiture, where emotions come to life in vivid colors and intricate details.
Celebrate the unbreakable bond with your furry companions through exquisitely crafted pet portraits that capture their spirit and personality.
At Portia's Art, each stroke of colour is translates the essence of life onto canvas. Specialising in portraits, pet portraits, memorial pieces, and landscapes, I try to incorporate heart and soul into every artwork, striving to capture the beauty and emotion of every subject in a unique and personal way. Let me turn your precious moments into timeless treasures...
Why "Portia" I hear you ask - this is a long term nickname that I have always liked...
Feedback from my clients means the world to me. Take a look at just some of their comments.
Clair completed a wonderful portrait of our Yorkshire terrier Rudi. I cannot express how happy I am with the result. It is beautiful and she has captured his personality exactly. She even included his favourite toy. Clair framed the portrait for me also and this was of a high standard. A very talented person and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Clair did an amazing job of giving us a piece of art to commemorate my grandparents memory. Taken as a low quality, quick snap photo from quite a distance, Clair worked her magic and managed to capture the love that surrounded this cherished couple for almost 7 decades. This is truly the most important piece of art we have the privilege to hang in our home and we are exceptionally grateful for Clair’s talent, her caring approach and personalised service. Thank you so much.

Rory, our Border Collie has been brought to life in pastels by this amazingly talented artist. We are absolutely delighted with the picture and the mount and frame are just perfect. Clair, I don't know how you do it but you've caught his character just right in his expression - and those eyes....... Fantastic, just love it

I’ve used Clair at Portia’s Art on a few occasions now to capture both pets I’ve had and lost, and pets I still have. From the initial discussion meetings to the finished piece, I’ve been made to feel I’m the most important client she has.
Clair takes time to listen to my needs in sense of size and style of the painting I want, even down to frame choice. She updated me numerous times with sneaky peeks of how it’s going, and the finished products, which, well all I can say is “wow” !
The paintings she has done have massively exceeded my wildest wishes, so true to life that they are genuinely emotional.
Knowing my pets have been captured in such a loving way for life is heartwarming. I have no hesitation in asking Clair to paint for us and I highly recommend her work.
