“I first stumbled across Tori’s artwork on Facebook, immediately her artistry grabbed my attention! “Wow”. I then checked her Facebook page out to see more of her work, within minutes I decided I needed to own a piece of Tori’s work! With my partners birthday looming in the distance I asked Tori to paint poppy our Jack Russell. Communication with Tori was easy & smooth , I sent her several pics to let her choose a picture that suited her style best , Tori sent me regular updates & pictures of her progress right up to completion of painting. The result was magnificent, my partner Was reduced to tears by her birthday present , she & everyone who sees it proudly hanging in the living room are taken aback by it, stunning! I have since had a second painting commissioned of poppy & thanks to Tori poppy is the proud face of one of Tori’s dog range mugs . I thoroughly recommend anyone who has a treasured family pet have a portrait done by Tori, you will not be disappointed.! Her artwork is incredible.”

“I contacted Tori as I wanted a bespoke painting of my puppy Howard created, and having seen her previous work I knew this would make the special gift that I wanted to give to my partner. The painting has thoroughly exceeded my expectations in every way and it has taken pride of place in our home for everyone to see and admire. The level of service and communication through out the process was excellent and really added to the love of what was being designed for us. Thank you Tori for creating such a wonderful piece of art for me and my family to treasure forever.”

“We first discovered Tori’s style on her Facebook page. We loved the way she captured the character of animals, which was so obvious even though we didn’t know the subjects ourselves. We just had to have our two horses painted! Right from the first contact Tori was approachable and helpful. She clearly explained the correct style of photos we needed to take to allow her to paint our horses to their best advantage. She discussed what the final composition would look like with us, explained why some things worked better than others and made sure we were happy with everything. She then kept us updated on progress, and sent photos as she went along; which was exciting! When the finished paintings arrived we were so, so pleased with them. There were Leo and Keela looking out of the paper at us!! The paintings have pride of place on our sitting room wall. I can wholeheartedly recommend Tori and her talent.”

“Hi Tori, my Girlfriend Victoria commissioned a portrait of my beloved dog Harley for my birthday. I just wanted to say it has totally blown me away and I could not imagine a better painting. It is simply fantastic and I am looking forward to looking at and loving it for years to come. Thank you so much!! (The photo does not do your painting justice!!)”

“Tori is a very talented artist who has captured not only the look of Daisy, including her ‘twiggy eyes’, but also her character. I will never tire of looking at Daisy’s portrait. Tori kept me informed of progress & always answered emails & messages very promptly. I would highly recommend getting a Tori portrait of your beloved pet”

“Just to say an absolutely huge thank you! My boyfriend Joe gave me one of your commissions of my two westies for Christmas. It is absolutely beautiful and it looks just like Molly and Fraser! He knew how long I’ve been admiring your work so I was so overwhelmed and completely taken aback when I opened it on Christmas day… To put it simply, I cried like a baby. Once again, thank you so much. You have made me the most unbelievably beautiful token of my two beloved family mammals!”

“I wanted to get my husband a special Xmas present and decided to ask Tori to paint a picture of Jack our 14 year old Vizsla, who we have now sadly lost. I wanted something a bit different and had seen Tori’s work on facebook. I sent Tori a photo of Jack and when I received the painting, I couldn’t believe the likeness. His eyes were so lifelike, at first I thought they were cut out from a photo! We will be asking Tori to paint our Wire-Haired Vizsla puppy too. Tori is a very talented artist.”

“I contacted Tori after seeing her work on facebook and was delighted when she agreed to do a portrait of Star & Drago our two boxer dogs. Tori contacted me a few weeks before she was going to start and put up a few pictures as she created our portrait. I was kept up to date with when it was posted and to be honest when it arrived the pictures I had saw didn’t do it justice … it’s amazing and we are over the moon with it family and friends have made some lovely comments .l would highly recommend Tori as she is such a talented Artist Thanks Tori”

“We first saw Tori’s work on Facebook, so glad we did. I had 2 chihuahua pictures done for my Daughter for Christmas. Then over another 6 months l had 2 pictures done for myself. Just lovely. We also went to Chatsworth Fair and met the lovely Tori and her mother on her stand she had their. We took our fur babies who Tori had painted, a lovely day out. Her paintings are like chocolate, you can’t stop at one.”

“I wanted an original, unusual gift for my husband’s birthday. Having seen Tori’s work on her website, I loved her style of watercolour and ink work. From placing the order to receiving the finished piece, the process was simple and easy. Tori was helpful and lovely to work with, she listened to my ideas about the colours I wanted and incorporated them beautifully. I think the finished piece speaks for itself! It’s gorgeous and really captures our cheeky boxer dog Eva. My husband was delighted with the painting, which now has pride of place in our sitting room. I can’t recommend Tori’s art work enough, it’s of exceptional quality.”

“What is so amazing about Tori Ratcliffe’s work is that although she had never met our dogs Toby, Lucy and Harry her painting reflected their personalities perfectly. All we did was take photos of them on an iPhone then send them to her and ….job done….a perfect wedding anniversary present. Thanks Tori”
