This is the website of Carol Vigurs, 
UK based artist specialising in commissioned pet portraits, decoupage and surface pattern design

Carol Vigurs is a London-based artist whose work blends tradition, craftsmanship, and a deep appreciation for character and detail. She is best known for her soulful, hand-painted pet portraits, transforming cherished photographs into timeless, bespoke artworks that capture the personality and presence of each animal. Whether celebrating a new companion or commemorating a much-loved pet, her portraits offer a meaningful and lasting connection.

Alongside her portrait work, Carol explores the decorative arts through decoupage—an intricate practice often described as “painting with paper.” By layering imagery and pattern, she creates customised furniture that merges beauty with function, turning everyday objects into unique artistic statements.

This fascination with layering and pattern continues in her wallpaper designs, which evolve naturally from her decoupage practice. Her patterns balance classical influences with a modern, playful sensibility, bringing rhythm, texture, and visual storytelling into interior spaces.

Working from her London studio and shipping worldwide, Carol’s work spans fine art, design, and craft—united by a focus on individuality, detail, and the transformative power of art in everyday life.
