Hi. My name is Steph Dix, and I am a professional illustrator and portrait artist based in Derbyshire, in the UK. I run my portrait business from this website, producing both colour and black and white traditional portraits of people and pets, and some more modern alternatives. I also work as an illustrator for children's books and produce editorial work, via my agent Graham Cameron Illustration. Recent feedback (mainly for my pet portraits) can be viewed here.

Aug 2010: My Yahoo email steph_dix_uk@yahoo.com has not been receiving emails properly, so I've switched to an alternative provider. The link below now sends you to stephdix@mail.com I will still be checking my Yahoo inbox, and you can also contact me through Facebook.

Simply email me a good quality photograph of the portrait subject. It is important that you choose the best photo that you have. This page shows examples of good and bad photos of pets. Once work has begun, I will keep you informed of the portrait's progress. I can usually work to fairly tight deadlines, although for Christmas in particular, it is essential to book as early as you can. I also offer a guarantee that if you are dissatisfied with the final portrait, you don't have to pay anything at all.
