Hand-Painted Watercolour Paintings, Prints and Portraits by Tracy Christina

Welcome, friends! I'm Tracy Christina. I am an artist and writer living on a widebeam boat in the UK. My work is about truly seeing and feeling the subject—finding the purples hidden in a grey horse, and the light that brings eyes to life on the page.

I accept hand made watercolour portrait commissions across the UK and beyond - from dogs and cats, hamsters to horses, people, wildlife and beyond, painted from your photos.

If you are looking for a pet memorial gift, a commissioned pet portrait is the perfect heartfelt gift.
I offer deeply personal portrait commissions to whimsical original miniatures, my goal is always the same: honouring the life around us by translating it to paper using the humble mediums of watercolour, ink, pencils and magic. Welcome aboard!

Tracy has now created two wonderful pieces of art for me. The artwork captures the absolute essence of my pets characters and is better than a digital photo. Wonderful pieces to treasure forever. Highly recommend!

Tracy Oberbeck Shiflett, USA

I'm enchanted with Tracy's artwork. She's able to capture so much of the spirit of the creatures in her pet portraits, it's a remarkable talent. Such a sweet lady, I highly recommend working with her.

Today my babies Woody & Ella arrived home safe and sound. A beautiful keepsake in their memory. Tracy has such a gift, she has captured their characters and personalities perfectly. I can’t wait to get them mounted and framed. Thank you Tracy xxxxx

Tracy has an amazing gift when it comes to capturing your pet, the photo I gave her looked less like Ben than the drawing itself which I found incredible. It’s all in the eyes and Tracy nails them every time, the picture moved me to tears and when presented to the dogs owner for Christmas (my Mum) she broke down, not the intention of the gift but shows how amazing the drawings are to real life. The most talented pet portrait artist and artist in general that I know should highly recommend you to commission her for any work you are planning on having done, for yourself or as an unbelievable gift. I’ve already been asked by my mum to get one of her other dog!!

KEEP THE BOAT AFLOAT

Art, words, and magic take time to make and courage to share. If something here has resonated with you, touched something real, or given you the words you couldn't find yourself, and you'd like to offer something in return, this is the place to do it.

Every contribution sends a ripple, and keeps the studio afloat.

Thank you for embarking on this journey with me.
