Sophie Parkhill - SP Wildlife Art

I'm Sophie Parkhill, an award-winning wildlife and pet portrait artist based in Prestatyn, North Wales. I specialise in highly detailed soft pastel and acrylic portraits, capturing the character and personality of much-loved pets. UK and US shipping available.

• Bespoke portraits from your photographs, with framing available in standard glass or ARTGlass.

• For clients within an hour of Prestatyn, I can arrange photography of your pet myself.

• Combining photographs has become a speciality, bringing multiple pets together.

• I can also work from older photographs for pets that have sadly passed on.

My pet artwork has received international recognition:
Lara the Goldador was Highly Commended in the prestigious global Pastel 100 2024, featured in The Globe by the International Association of Pastel Societies, and won 2nd Place with the Pastel Guild of Europe.
Echo, a Black German Shepherd, won Association of Animal Artists Best in Show 2023
Shetland Sheepdog portraits featured in I Love Sheltie books in 2021 and 2022.

My work has appeared in SAA Paint Magazine, Artists & Illustrators, Hidden Talents and Art + Framing Today.

I am Secretary of the Association of Animal Artists, and a member of The Wildlife Art Society International, ARTNorthWales and the Pastel Guild of Europe
