UNIQUE ART FOR EVERY OCCASION
UNIQUE ART FOR EVERY OCCASION
Welcome to my website! At Victoria Reay Fine Arts we are dedicated to creating unique personalised artwork that captures the essence of life's beautiful moments. My portfolio includes a diverse range of pieces, from animal portraits and home illustrations to children's themed name paintings and depictions of your favourite photographs.
Based in Penrith, Cumbria, I primarily work with acrylic and oil paints, specialising in hyper-realistic representations that bring everyday moments to life. Each piece is crafted with immense care to enhance every detail and project raw emotion.
I take pride in creating artwork that can be gifted as personalised, one-of-a-kind pieces. Whether you're looking to cherish a beloved pet, celebrate a special place, or create a memorable gift for a loved one, my work aims to make those moments timeless. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to working with you to create something truly special.
Looking to capture the essence of your beloved pet in a stunning portrait? I specialise in creating custom animal portraits that bring your favourite animals to life! If you are interested in a dog portrait, please head over to my shop where you will find the link to purchase this.
To commission a portrait of a different animal, please send me your favourite high-quality reference photos in natural lighting to my email. Ensure you include your desired completion date and the size of the portrait you require. I typically work on A3 acid free textured acrylic paper, however if you have a size in mind please let me know. I will then get back to you within three to five business days to provide an accurate quote and time frame. Once the commission is begun I will send you updated photos as the painting progresses. When the commission is complete I will mount and frame the work, send final updated photos and arrange delivery.
Please note, to secure your booking a non refundable 25% deposit will be taken and the remaining balance due when the commission is completed. Get in touch today to start the process!
If you are interested in a commission which is not listed on my shop please do not hesitate to get in touch through the online contact form below or via email. I enjoy exploring new subjects and bringing your vision to life, whether this is a favourite place or a photo which means the world to you.
Words alone cannot express how amazing Victoria's work is. We commissioned Victoria to paint my sister's dog Fudge, unfortunately Fudge sadly passed away this week and my sister and family were all heartbroken but we were able to present my sister with a picture of Fudge for her birthday yesterday, she was inconsolable but this was due to the fact she felt she could reach out and touch him through this amazing piece of work, the resemblance was outstanding and my sister, actually all of us, are so grateful to Victoria for her fantastic work. Well done Victoria and again a massive thank you.

We're over the moon with the painting that Victoria did of our Old English Sheepdog, for my husband's birthday. She captured Rosie's gorgeous markings and her gentle and sensitive nature perfectly.
Victoria was very professional from start to finish, kept me up to date with how the painting was progressing and had it ready on time. A completely stress free experience for me!
I'd 100% recommend Victoria and would definitely contact her again in the future if I wanted any more paintings done.

Victoria was really professional from start to finish. The painting was so beautiful and detailed and her communication throughout the whole process was amazing. Would highly recommend for any picture or painting!

We absolutely love the painting that Victoria has done for our son’s nursery. Her attention to detail is immaculate. The colours match his nursery perfectly, along with the woodland theme. We feel very lucky to have such a beautiful, personal piece of art to hang on Archie’s wall. Victoria’s artwork is truly beautiful! Such a talent!

Beyond happy with this beautiful commission for my niece. Victoria spent a long time discussing options for the colour and design with me; and suggested this idea which is so personal and meaningful!
She kept me up to date with the progress of the commission and when she delivered it, it was wrapped beautifully. So obvious how much love and care goes into every element. We absolutely love it and will treasure it forever!
Entirely recommend!

Victoria has done an incredible job painting our pet bird that we sadly lost due to illness earlier this year. She was a very special member of our family and Victoria has captured her beautifully. Victoria was professional throughout and will always go the extra mile to ensure you are happy with the commission. Her talent is unreal and I'd happily ask her to do another commission. The fact she hadn't painting a bird like ours before too is crazy!! Thank you so much.

I cant thank Victoria for the amazing painting we commissioned her to do of our faithful friend who sadly we lost and is missed dearly. She has been so thoughtful keeping us up to date and asking questions about him so she could capture him perfectly. Your super talented and the care and attention you have through your painting shines. Thank you so so much he is absolutely amazing.

I am bowled over once again by the amazing work by Victoria. I commissioned Victoria to paint a very special piece depicting an image I took of a red squirrel kitten which I hand reared before finally releasing it back into the wilds of the Eden Valley. Although the photo looked just beautiful, I thought how amazing it would look if it were to be painted and framed. I didn’t hesitate one bit to put all my trust into Victoria and I was thrilled when she said would take on the commission. Well to say I am delighted with the final piece is an understatement! I will treasure it always and will take pride of place in my home. Many Congratulations on such a beautiful masterpiece Victoria and wishing you every success for the future
