About Dog Portrait Artist Penny Richardson
Penny Richardson is an established British artist specialising in pet portraits, with a career spanning more than four decades. Known for her sensitive, characterful paintings, she works in a wide range of media from oils to watercolour, gouache, soft pastel and acrylics.
Born in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, Penny’s early years were shaped by the natural world and inspired by her teachers. She studied at Loughborough College of Art & Design, where she developed a versatile set of skills (life-drawing, clay sculpture, photography), before turning to professional portraiture.
Over the years, Penny has built a strong reputation for creating lifelike, emotive pet portraits from photographs focusing on detail, expression, personality, and temperament. She takes particular care to capture the essence of each dog she paints, often using more than one reference photo to ensure the lighting, character and mood are right.
Her work is not just local to Surrey, but national (UK-wide), and she also accepts international commissions.
