The artist behind the illustrations

Hello lovelies,

I’m Amy, the artist behind Petal & Portrait, a self-taught illustrator based in Staffordshire. Dog obsessed, scuba diving enthusiast, moderately nerdy, nature loving girl, deeply passionate about art, photography & everything horticultural.

Born from a love of creativity, I have always dreamt of combining my passion for art with my desire to build a business & turning that dream into a reality. Feeling inspired I began drawing illustrations in our cosy cottage in the beautiful English countryside, where I immerse myself in every element of my work.

Drawing has always been my passion, and creating live illustrations for your event brings me so much joy!

Our story, the beginning of this lil business

Back in October 2024, Rich and I began brainstorming potential business ideas that I could pour my creativity into, and with a whole lot of love, endless late nights (and an unimaginable consumption of caramel coffee), Petal & Portrait came to life!

Throughout the Winter months, in our cosy countryside cottage, I sketched hundreds of sample illustrations, curated social media content, applied to exhibit at wedding fayres and poured my heart into every detail, and by January 2025, we officially launched!

With a pen in one hand and an iced caramel coffee in the other, we went from side hustle to full-time dream in October 2025!

our favourite things...

Obsessed with all things cosy: Autumn walks, burnt orange sunsets, hot choccies, pumpkin spice candles, and wrapping up for a Lord of the Rings marathon (extended edition only, of course)

Our foodie heaven: Espresso martinis, cheese boards, roast dinners (honey roast parsnips are my absolute fav), Hickory's Smokehouse.. literally everything on the menu is sensational

LOVE an adventure: If there’s a National Trust nearby, we're off hiking through woodland trails or wandering dreamy gardens! Or riding our mountain e-bikes over Cannock Chase or finding somewhere new to explore

Discover the team...

Rich & my mum both occasionally support me at events and they play an essential role and crucial part of the magic behind the scenes, making sure everything runs like a dream! While I focus on illustrating, they handle setup, guest interaction, photography, logistics, and making sure each portrait is safely packed, all of which ensures I can complete as many illustrations as possible!

Rich has been my unwavering source of support, the foundation of my confidence, and the driving force behind my determination to pursue this dream. His belief in me has not only inspired my ambition but also given me the courage to turn this vision into reality. I couldn’t have embarked on this incredible journey without his devoted encouragement and endless motivation

We’re excited for you to join us on this adventure together, thank you so much for being here & for supporting this dream of ours!

With love,
Amy & Rich x
