Custom Oil Painting of Your Pet - Nationwide

Verified Member since Sep 2019 Verified checkmark

Since September 2019, I have been passionately transforming cherished moments into timeless treasures with custom oil paintings of your beloved pets. My journey as a pet portrait artist began over four years ago, and I specialize in capturing the unique spirit and personality of a wide variety of animals, including those as diverse as playful pups, curious cats, majestic horses, and even more exotic creatures like birds, reptiles, and alpacas. My keen eye for detail and dedication to crafting artwork that mirrors the essence of your pet’s soul make each piece a lasting tribute you will treasure forever.

My process is simple and collaborative. I invite you to send me a high-resolution photograph of your pet—whether it's a dog, cat, bird, or even a rabbit—or several if you're unsure which captures their true essence best. From the expressive eyes to the intricate details of their fur or feathers, I meticulously render each aspect to bring your pet’s personality to life on canvas. Throughout the creation process, I keep you updated with progress photos unless you prefer a delightful surprise at the end. My paintings start at a size of 12x12" on stretched canvas, which is perfect for any space in your home.

Although I do not offer mobile services except for photography within a feasible travel radius, my commitment ensures every brushstroke is crafted with love and care right from my studio. As a solo artist with a deep appreciation for the bond between pets and their humans, I take immense pride in bringing your pet's image to life. Are you ready to celebrate your pet in a unique and beautiful way? Book me through Petworks today, and let’s create a masterpiece that honors your furry, feathery, or scaly friend!

🌟 About Angela Schwengler


Angela is a professional pet portrait artist based in Fort Worth, TX, serving clients locally and nationwide through PetWorks. With a passion for capturing the personality, energy, and spirit of animal companions, Angela creates handcrafted portraits that go far beyond what a photograph can offer — each one a genuine one-of-a-kind work of art, made from your favorite photo and tailored to your exact vision. Angela is a recognized and top-rated artist on PetWorks, trusted by pet owners across the country to deliver portraits that are cherished for a lifetime.


What to Expect When Working with Angela


Commissioning a portrait with Angela is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins with a conversation — you'll share your favorite photos of your pet, discuss the style and medium that appeals to you, and talk through any specific ideas or requests you have in mind. Angela takes the time to understand not just what your pet looks like, but who they are — their character, their quirks, and the qualities that make them yours.


From there, Angela gets to work. Most artists on PetWorks share progress photos along the way, giving you the opportunity to provide feedback and request adjustments before the portrait is complete. Once you're happy with the result, your finished portrait is shipped directly to you or delivered as a digital file — depending on the medium and your preference. Most portraits are completed within 2–6 weeks, though timelines vary by medium, complexity, and the artist's current schedule. Always confirm turnaround with Angela before booking, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.


🦔 How to Book Angela on PetWorks


On Angela Schwengler's listing page, use 'Send Message' or 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Book Now' to start a conversation about your commission. Angela will discuss your vision, answer any questions, and send you a personalized quote through the PetWorks inbox — because the right artist fit matters, and taking a few minutes to correspond before committing is always worth it.


When you're ready, payment is handled securely through PetWorks — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Affirm, Link, or Klarna. Care Coverage at checkout gives you access to PetWorks' live Concierge team, full refunds if a booking is canceled through no fault of yours, and help resolving any issues along the way — so you can focus on your portrait with complete peace of mind.


Tips for a Great Portrait


Getting the most out of your commission starts with good reference photos. Clear, well-lit shots taken at your pet's eye level work best — natural light is your friend, and flash-heavy photos tend to flatten features and wash out color. Capture a few different expressions and angles if you can: a close-up of the face, a relaxed resting shot, and a playful or characteristic pose gives your artist the most to work with.


Beyond photos, the more you can share about your pet's personality the better. Is your dog goofy and energetic, or calm and dignified? Does your cat have a signature expression? The small details you share help Angela bring genuine character to the portrait rather than simply reproducing a likeness. If you have a specific style, background, or size in mind, mention it upfront — most artists welcome creative direction and will work with you to bring your vision to life.


As a general guide, pet portrait commissions in the US typically range from $75–$200 for small portraits, $200–$500 for medium, and $500–$1,200 or more for large or multi-pet works. Browse Angela's pricing packages above for specific rates.


Frequently Asked Questions


How do I get started with Angela? Use 'Send Message' or 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Book Now' buttons on this page to reach out directly. Angela will respond through the PetWorks inbox to discuss your vision, review your photos, and provide a personalized quote before you commit to booking.


Can Angela paint multiple pets in one portrait? Many PetWorks artists offer multi-pet compositions — reach out to Angela directly to discuss your specific request. Multi-pet portraits may carry additional fees depending on the number of subjects and complexity of the arrangement.


What if my pet has passed away? Memorial portraits are one of the most meaningful commissions you can make. Angela works entirely from photos, so a passing doesn't prevent a beautiful, lifelike result. Many PetWorks artists have extensive experience with memorial work and approach it with particular care and sensitivity.


Does Angela ship nationwide? Yes — all orders through PetWorks are handled entirely online. You upload your photos, correspond through the platform, and receive your finished portrait by mail or digital delivery regardless of where you are in the country.


What if I'm not happy with the result? PetWorks' Care Coverage gives you access to the live Concierge team and help resolving any booking issues. Most artists also share progress photos throughout the process so you can provide feedback and request adjustments before the portrait is finalized — the goal is always a result you love.
