Heirloom Mini Portraits

Tiny Treasures Filled With Heart!

Miniature portraits are exactly that – miniature! 😊
They’re minute, detailed coloured pencil pieces created on small paper sizes, and their charm lies in their scale.

I’m so excited to introduce my brand-new Heirloom Mini Portraits — delicate (approx) 7×7 cm coloured pencil artworks created exclusively for babies and young children. These little portraits are designed to capture the sweetness, innocence and personality of childhood in a timeless, hand-drawn keepsake.

Each miniature artwork is crafted with care, intention and fine detail, making it a meaningful addition to any nursery, gallery wall or family collection. Though small in size, these portraits carry the warmth and sentiment of a treasured heirloom — something to be held onto, gifted, and passed down.

The Perfect Gift – Original Art from a Photo

Heirloom Mini Portraits make beautiful newborn or first-birthday gifts, and they’re a heartfelt choice for parents, grandparents and loved ones wanting something personal and handcrafted.

Alongside these children’s minis, I’m still offering my popular Mini Pet Portraits, which make equally thoughtful gifts and keepsakes.

If you’re unsure whether a miniature is the right fit, I’m happy to chat and guide you or view the larger alternatives:

A good quality photograph is required to achieve a good likeness. I try to capture all the special details that make the subject unique, as well as their sweet personalities.

Miniature Coloured Pencil Portraits

Coloured Pencil (and Graphite Pencil) Miniature Portraits are sketched on 100% cotton watercolour paper and sold unframed. 

These portraits are highly detailed and realistic. As with the larger scaled portraits, I only use the highest-quality drawing surfaces from France, the UK and Italy and the finest-quality German, American and Swiss-made coloured and graphite pencils. If cared for properly, your artwork will withstand the test of time.

Framing can be arranged at an additional fee. Artworks are professionally framed, behind glass for the best finish and to prolong the longevity of the artworks even further.

The Client has the option to choose between standard portrait glass or investing in Artglass (Gallery Standard) glass for incredible clarity (no reflections) and UV protection.
