Losing a pet is one of the hardest things a pet parent goes through. The house feels different. The routines change. And the love that was so present every day doesn’t simply disappear. A custom memorial portrait is a way to honor that love: to keep your pet’s memory alive in a form that is permanent, beautiful, and deeply personal. These Petworks artists specialize in capturing the pets we’ve lost, with the sensitivity and care that moment deserves.
Kait Amadio works in watercolor and has built a reputation for capturing the subtle expressions and quiet personality that pet owners instantly recognize in their animals. She works entirely from photos, which means a pet’s passing doesn’t stand in the way of a beautiful, lifelike result. Clients who have commissioned memorial portraits through Kait describe the finished pieces as treasures they will keep forever. View Kait’s PetWorks listing.
