Darcie Olley

Selling happy prints, cards, portraits, gifts + more! Designed by UK-based illustrator Darcie Olley.

Hello! I'm Darcie, an illustrator based in Essex, UK.

After graduating from studying Fashion + Textiles in 2018, and then working in the textiles industry for a year, in 2019 I decided to go it alone and start my own venture. With a passion for art, illustration, homeware and gifts, I decided to specialise in designing custom pet and family portraits. I absolutely love the whole process of creating portraits, from receiving the sweetest photos to work from, painting them and adding those special finishing touches, to seeing them being received as gifts and hanging in your homes!

Each piece I produce starts off life being hand-painted in acrylic and gouache paint, any final editing and finishing touches are added digitally and the final product is then printed onto good-quality 250gm acid-free card and posted to straight to you! Custom pet and family portraits make completely unique and thoughtful gifts or keepsake for yourself to treasure forever.
