As you may know already my name is Olivia Marczak and I am a self taught pet and wildlife artist. I mostly use pencil and acrylic paint and strive to protect the traditional ways of creating art in an increasingly digital society. I am based in the highlands and islands where there is a plethora of inspiration just outside my window.  

My passion for pet portraits is deep rooted and I can link it to a desire to truly see my drawings, see the personality, capture every single detail so that it does not look generic. Our childhood family dog, Sam , and my best friend, had so many little quirks. He had a small wart on his nose, a droopy eye and bless him the funniest look when he would lift up his ears. Each of these things made him unique and so I kept this in mind when creating portraits, making sure his image was not to be mistaken with any other retriever.  

​

Horses, dogs, ferrets, cats,peacocks,hampsters...the list goes on! Being spoilt rotten with my choice of animal companions has taught me just how valuable your pet is to you. They become your best friend, they know you better than anyone else and they deserved to be remembered far longer than thier unfortunatley short lifespans.

Thats why after years of practice Im so proud to be able to capture my clients pets in portraits and pictures that truly let thier personality shine through.
