“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.”

A soulful tribute to your beloved companion—illustrated with heart, and created with care.
Hi there! I'm Samira, a concept artist and illustrator. I love drawing animals, and I'm a proud pet owner.
Each portrait is digitally hand-drawn (NO AI!) in my signature chalky style, capturing not just the appearance of your pet, but the unique feeling of their presence—the softness in their eyes, the tilt of their head, the little spark that makes them them!
10% of every portrait, and all add-on proceeds, go directly toward Shanti’s ongoing care and comfort. Your order helps me create beauty—and give back to the animals who inspire it.
If this portrait is meant as a memorial, please know it will be created with extra care and sensitivity. I understand how deep the bond can be, and I’ll do my best to capture your pet’s essence in a way that brings comfort and remembrance. You’re welcome to share their story with me—I’d be honored to help you celebrate their life. Grief sucks.
