About
Grace Fetherston
I’m an award-winning young artist (15) based in the Blue Mountains, and I started my pet portrait business in 2024 to create meaningful, lasting artworks for families and individuals.
My work focuses on capturing the unique personality and spirit of those who matter most to you — whether that’s a beloved pet or a special person — creating a timeless and personal piece of art.
I specialise in custom pet and human portraits, working primarily with charcoal, graphite, and fine detailing techniques across a range of sizes.
With over 5 years of portrait experience, I have created artworks for more than 60 clients and families, and I continue to refine and develop my skills with each piece.
If you’re looking for a custom portrait in the Blue Mountains, I would love to create something special for you.
Thank you for supporting a young artist — I look forward to hearing from you.

"Grace not only captures your pets visual characteristics but also their unique personalities. Our beloved dog Willow is a fun loving, lively and affectionate dog-everyone who has seen Grace's portrait has not only commented on how beautiful the drawing is but also how well she has captured Willow's energy and sparkle."
