Testimonials

“I picked up my beautiful duck yesterday - it is absolutely gorgeous - the colours are beautiful and almost iridescent and it’s so realistic and incredibly detailed - such fine and intricate markings - wow - truly amazing. I really love it (and the frame is beautiful too). Thank you so much. You have such a wonderful talent.”

Chris and I just wanted you to know how much we love your Magic print. It looks beautiful. Each pencil stroke is meticulously placed, creating one of the most stunning pieces. The time, care and effort that you have put into bringing Magic to life is breathtaking. Thank you! Xxx

We were recently given a very special present which was one of Cecily Ann’s original drawings and can truly say it is utterly breathtaking!

The way she captured the iridescence of the bees wings is extraordinary and the vibrancy of colours and detail is remarkable. We had previously seen stunning animal artwork collection, including this particular piece with two bees busy at work on a flower head, and have been thrilled with the various items we’ve bought. We’ve always thought her work looked gorgeous but to compare the print with the original is impossible!

To say we are delighted with this gift is an understatement and we can thoroughly recommended her work!

“I want to thank you for the fantastic portrait of Lucy the wonder dog! I love it, and everyone who sees the portrait asks who the artist is. I want to express my appreciation for the time and care that you took over the piece as you captured not only with great skill and accuracy her image, but also you captured her personality and her essence. You managed to catch her colouring, which is many shades of golds, whites, and greys just perfectly, I am amazed as it could not have been easy. I am thrilled with the result as it is a beautiful portrait of my dear companion.”

For my 70th birthday my work colleagues were scratching their heads to think of a gift - and then had the most wonderful idea of commissioning a portrait from Cecily of my beloved Golden Doodle dog Rosie. We lost her 6 weeks ago and miss her hugely. I am absolutely thrilled with the portrait which has totally caught her character and expression. I feel I can look into her eyes and it’s almost as if she is back with us…thank you so much, Cecily, for a beautiful piece of work!

I commissioned Cecily to do a portrait from a photograph of a favourite family springer spaniel who died in 2013.

I was not disappointed. The quality of Cecily’s artwork is absolutely wonderful.

I gave the portrait as a present to my partner who knew the dog when she was alive.

My partner simply loves the final result.

“I commissioned Cecily after seeing her gorgeous animal portraits at a gallery in Brockley. She asked for my favourite photo of our family cat ‘Angel’, and Cecily skilfully captured her essence in colour pencil, focusing in on her face. My cat has a lot of white fur so I was amazed by the detail she put in to get her looking so fluffy and textured! She created such a beautiful piece of art for us - not only do I love it, but everyone who visits my home cant help but admire it! My family will treasure this forever. Thank you!
