From your childhood home, to your first and 100th furry friend, to a late beloved family member, creating a portrait elevates the memory for your family to cherish forever.

Chantal Madeline is a full time realist artist living in a small town just outside of London, On.  She creates custom pieces for clients worldwide. Creating visually stunning and realistic portraits from photos with the use of graphite or a mix of coloured pencil and watercolour.

I’ve loved drawing and painting ever since I was a child. I studied as many art subjects as possible in school, and experimented with different mediums but I always went back to my love for portraiture in graphite.

.

More recently I’ve discovered my love of pet portraits in colour using a mix of pencil crayon and watercolour.

When I am not at my desk creating you can find me snuggled up with one of my cats and a good book, going for scenic walks with my husband or baking delicious allergy free treats!

I feel so lucky to spend each day doing what I love and creating beautiful memories for clients.

"I was and still am beyond words to express how this picture of Poppy makes me feel. I cried when Harv gave it to me because you made her look so real. She is missed more than I could ever say but thanks to you and the fabulous work you do, I feel like she is always here. Thank you so much!"
