Welcome to the True Image Family Portrait and Pet Portrait Studio!
All artwork is completely hand drawn or hand painted and you can choose between an acrylic painting or a graphite pencil drawing. Portraits are created from your photos and you can adjust the composition yourself giving you control over your commission. I can use one photograph or combine a few to create your memorable pet portrait or family portrait. Contact me to order a portrait from your photos today.
I often create bespoke artwork too, including landscape paintings, garden paintings and house and building illustrations. Email me at info@trueimage.ie to discuss your requirements.

Wedding Portraits
To date I have completed a large number of wedding portraits. Many of these have been commissioned as gifts for the couples in the portraits, others as gifts to their children after the parents have passed. What a great way to remember that special day for the family and the couples involved.
They also make for a wonderful bespoke and unique wedding present from friends or family.
You can view some of the portraits in my Wedding Portraits Gallery.
People with Pets
We just adore our pets and what better present for yourself or your friends and family than a unique portrait of them with their beloved companion. I can work from one or multiple photographs to create the most special keepsake for the pet owner. Commission your own gift or keepsake simply by contacting me with your photos and I will guide you through the entire portrait process. See some examples in my People and Pets Portraits Gallery here.
Landscapes, Buildings and Houses
House drawings, landscape paintings and building drawings are a great way to remember a special time or occasion in your life. I often create drawings of buildings commisioned as retirement gifts from colleagues or a painting of a special place a person holds dear. This unique gift means a lot to the person on the receiving end.
I have also created other unusual commissions, see them here.
"Hi Ivana!
Thank you so much for the scanned image. The painting looks fantastic and is just what I was looking for. Thank you so much for producing this! and it’s great to hear that you have managed to finish it so soon.
It really looks great from the scanned image and I’m looking forward to seeing it in person.
Thanks again Ivana."
