Animal portrait artist
Welcome to my studio, where I bring the essence of animals to life with paint. Whether it's capturing the spirit of your beloved dogs and horses in a custom commission or creating large-scale wildlife paintings, each piece is crafted with passion and precision. Explore the world of vibrant colors and detailed artistry that celebrates the beauty of the animal kingdom.
My Canvas
I specialise in vibrant, oil-on-canvas creations, infusing each piece with rich, dynamic colours.
I use the finest oils and canvases to create a truly high-quality product.
My journey
Education
I studied Fine Art at Charles Cecil Studios in Florence and I have a UAL Diploma in Art & Design.
Currently I am studying History of Art at the University of Exeter. Once I finally complete my studies I aim to devote myself entirely to painting.
Inspiration
From a young age I have been preoccupied with drawing animals.
Having grown up surrounded by ponies, racehorses and dogs at Newsells Park Stud, my preoccupation has matured into a distinct passion for rendering these animals in oil paints.

Testimonials
“I am very proud of my Oslo portrait. It is so him. All of his characteristics are visible in a lovely relaxed way. Thank you Daisy.”
William fox-pitt
“Daisy has painted two portraits of our dogs which we ADORE - the resemblance is amazing and she has totally captured their characters. She has been a pleasure to work with, listening to what was important to me, completing the work on time and advising re framing. I cannot recommend her more highly.”
Cilla wood
“Daisy has done two paintings for me - two Jack Russels and a portrait of my mum’s favourite horse for her birthday.
Daisy did such an amazing job of bringing them to life; the paintings bring all of their character to the surface. She is a very talented artist and everyone who sees the paintings on display is taken aback by the quality she produces.”
Sophie byford
“My first Daisy Dollar commission was of my golden retriever and my second was of my staffie, Zach, who had recently passed away. I loved how Daisy was able to bring both of them to life, creating beautifully imaginative paintings that capture their personalities far better than any photo. Thank you Daisy, I will treasure these pieces forever. To anyone who is looking for a piece of artwork of any of their dogs, horses or wild animals I highly recommend Daisy Dollar as the process was so easy and Daisy did such an amazing job.”
