My Story.
Megan Cordingley Pawtraits was founded in 2023 by Meg, a fine artist based in West Yorkshire, UK.
I have always been creative, dabbling in sewing, painting, DIY projects, but it wasn’t until I was looking for the perfect gift for my father-in-law for Father’s Day that I decided to try my hand at creating a portrait of his beloved dog, Merlin- a gift described by my father-in-law as ‘the greatest gift’ he had ever received.
Pet owners, like my father-in-law, simply adore their pets, they are part of the family and ‘man’s best friend’ after all and my lifelike custom pet portraits make the perfect gift to remember a special friend.
The hand drawn and painted portraits that clients commission are available in a range of sizes.
I take great care and pride in my work and it would be my privilege to be able to capture your pet in a timeless way.
“Nothing thrills me more than the look on my clients faces when they finally see their finished pet portrait”.

About Me
When I am not found with a pencil or paintbrush in my hand, I am enjoying much loved adventures with my family. My husband Ben and two sons, William and Rafe are my world and being an artist allows me such a wonderful work life balance to be able to spend time with them as well as working on my other passion. They are my biggest supporters.
Life with two little ones can be pretty hectic, but once they are at school and nursery, there is something so soothing about being able to sit and pour my love into creating beautiful works of art for my clients.
