Celebrate the love for your pet with a Paper Pawtrait. All portraits are created by hand, bespoke to you and your pet. To begin with, I work out the animal’s body shapes from your photos and then cut them out using quality paper. Once all the parts are cut out, I then add details using high-quality colour pencils and paints to capture your pet’s personality. Finally, I put the animal’s body shapes together, building up in layers to make your pet pop out at you in a frame!
I have teamed up with Fat Fluffs Rabbit Rescue, an animal charity helping Rabbits in need. When purchasing a pet portrait you not only get a beautiful keepsake, but you also help rescued animals receive medical care, food and help in finding their forever new home!
Out Now! Architect of Dreams, I am excited to debut this brand new children’s book illustrated by myself using my unique paper art style and written by the wonderful author Renea Bartlett. It is a book about learning children to be confident in their dreams and how working together with like minded people can help to achieve them. The beautiful illustrations throughout the book have depth created by the use of intricate paper cut outs and added details with mediums such as paint, pens and colouring pencils. Get your hands on a copy now.
From floppy-eared rabbits to handsome hounds and cute cats, Gemma Lorente-Shore turns pieces of paper into colourful works of art.
I’ve been super impressed with Paper Pet Pawtraits. Gemma is really great and makes such beautiful craft work. Customer communication and service is excellent. Gemma kept in touch all through the process of my order to make sure I was satisfied and undertook the work and delivery of my order very efficiently. Thank you so much!
Safe to say that Gemma is a wizard with paper in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other! She did an incredible job of immortalizing and bringing to life my five little bunnies. Turnaround was speedy and right in time for Christmas. My girlfriend absolutely loved it! Would not hesitate to recommend Gemma and Paper Pet Pawtraits to anyone and everyone 🙂
Love the paper pawtrait Gemma did of my dog Kiwi! It’s such a fun, whimsical, original design. Gemma really captured my dog’s happy face! Her ears are perked up and her eyes are super alert. I’m always browsing through pet portrait artists and haven’t seen anything quite like these portraits.
Gemma’s work is truly a masterpiece.
I asked for my two rabbits to be made into 3D paper print .
I was amazed at the level of detail . I cried when I saw it . Gemma has completely captured them.
It’s better than a photo. I was kept up to date with how the work was progressing and had choices
Of backgrounds and frames. Quick turnaround and good service . But so so worth it . I’m thrilled
I was looking for something special to be created for my Lucy bear who had died in September 2015. I stumbled upon Gemma’s pawtrait’s and instantly knew I wanted one. I can honestly say I was blown away by the character and colouring Gemma gave to Lucy. Lucy was a black Chow Chow dog who had brown eyes and a purple tongue, so quite often Lucy just looked like an outline in photos, which is why I’m very pleased with the pawtrait and would highly recommend anyone to commission one of their beloved pet.
I am beyond excited to have my rabbits in a beautiful portrait. I can’t thank Gemma enough for her hard work at making this pawtrait for me. I felt like a kid at Christmas with a permanent grin on my face while unwrapping this as I was so excited. It is beyond perfect and I love it so much. Gemma pays extreme attention to detail and really cares about what she does as it really shows in her amazing work. I would highly recommend getting a pet pawtrait done as it is really priceless to be able to keep your fur baby forever in a portrait. ❤??

Bought a two bunny frame for my partner as a Christmas gift.
The two rabbits had sadly passed away last year and were giant continentals. Gemma kindly provided a larger frame to accommodate their rather big ears at no extra cost.
My partner absolutely loved the frame! The details of each rabbit were spot on! Even our 2 year old recognised them and wanted to stroke them.
Highly recommended!!

I sent a picture of my daughter’s dog a beautiful Cockerpoo for Gemma to copy. Wow the picture was lovely so life like. Gemma kept in touch throughout the process. When the picture arrived it was very securely wrapped. My daughter was very very happy with her picture. I would recommend Paper Pet Pawtraits to anyone.

I bought a paper pawtrait as a gift for my sister and it is STUNNING. Gemma is so talented, as well as being incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. Not only is the finished portrait beautiful, she really captured the personalities of everyone in the photo which makes it so much more special. The portrait surpassed all my expectations – it truly is incredible. I just want one for myself now!

When I saw Gemma’s portraits I knew immediately that I had to have one made of our Papillon girl Sascha, who went to the rainbow bridge last October.
Gem was genuinely excited to create her Pawtrait for my daughter’s birthday and she captured her beauty and personality perfectly!
The look on her face when she opened the wrapping paper was priceless and I knew she would love it forever.
