Testimonials

  • “Fiona had captured the dog perfectly”

    “I commissioned Fiona to capture my sister in laws dog whom they love very much. All I had to supply was a photo. When I saw the finished product I was in awe. Fiona had captured the dog perfectly, the drawing was the spitting image of their dog, I couldn’t believe how life like it was. We gave it to my sister in law and her family as a gift and they were so impressed. Fiona’s price was very reasonable for what she produced. She truly is an amazing artist.”

  • “Incredible talent and attention to detail”

    “In 2024 I commissioned the very talent Fiona, from Fiona Fine Art, to sketch a very special memorial piece. I gave Fiona a photo of my puppy dog, father and grandfather and she created the most detailed and beautiful collage of them together in charcoal. Words can not express my gratitude for the incredible talent and attention to detail Fiona created. Her work is exceptional and she is very talented in realism in many mediums. Highly recommend Fiona Fine Art if you are looking for that something special for your walls or a family and friends gift.”

  • “Fiona's work is a perfect tribute”

    "Fiona Berridge's oil painting of our beautiful poodle, Shelby, is an absolutely incredible remembrance of our loyal and faithful companion of 14 wonderful years. Her artistic talent has truly brought Shelby to life, capturing not just his likeness but his spirit as well. Fiona's work is a perfect tribute, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. I wholeheartedly recommend Fiona to anyone seeking to preserve the memory of a loved one—be it a pet or person. Her skill and attention to detail are second to none, and her work does them incredible justice. Thank you, Fiona, for this priceless treasure."

  • "I am blown away by Fiona's incredible talent and the heart she poured into this piece."

    I commissioned this portrait for my best friend, Chase, who lost her soul dog, Abby—a companion who stood by her side through every chapter of life. Abby wasn’t just a pet; she was family, a constant source of love and loyalty. Fiona captured her spirit so perfectly—the warmth in her eyes, the softness in her expression, the feeling that she’s still here, watching over. Every detail, from the gentle stroke of her fur to the sparkle in her gaze, is filled with life and love.

    When I gave this to Chase, it brought her to tears. This painting is more than just art—it’s a tribute to the love she and Abby shared, a friendship that shaped both of our lives. Fiona, thank you for creating something so deeply meaningful! This piece will be treasured forever.

  • "Fiona has a rare gift—not just for painting, but for honoring the relationships that shape our lives."

    I commissioned this piece for my dear friend Aubrey, who shared an unshakable bond with her horse, Ziggy. They spent years side by side, a team in every sense, and losing him left a void that words can’t fill.

    I wanted her to have something that would keep his spirit close, a way to celebrate the love they shared. Fiona captured that love so effortlessly—the quiet understanding in Ziggy’s eyes, the joy in Aubrey’s expression, the feeling of a moment frozen in time. It’s more than a portrait; it’s a piece of their story, one that will never fade.

    Seeing this painting in Aubrey’s hands, the emotions that surfaced—it was everything I had hoped for and more. Fiona, you didn’t just create art; you gave back a piece of a love that never truly left - THANK YOU!
