Michele Levani Art - Custom Pet Portrait Artist - Nationwide
As a contracted pet portrait artist and Top rated national pet portrait artist with Petworks, I've painted thousands of custom pet portraits for individuals all over the world... and not just all sorts of breeds of cats and dogs! I’ve also painted Bearded Dragons, Ferrets, Horses, Turtles, Fish, Hamsters, Snakes… if it’s a pet, I’ve probably painted it!
I also love painting people, especially with their beloved fur babies!
You've decided to commission me... What's next? Send me lots of photos. The reference images that you send me to create a custom portrait should be as high resolution as possible. The quality of the image will, in many ways, determine the quality of the final drawing or painting. Clear photos of the eyes are best. Sending me lots of photos helps me better capture the personality of the subject. That being said, I understand that sometimes an individual may be limited on photos when it may be a pet that is no longer with you. Even with those limitations, I have many years of experience editing photos and can still create a beautiful portrait for you.

Customer Reviews
Picture turned out fabulous, better than I expected with the amount of guessing that had to be done
- Candra APet Pro's Response:
It was truly my pleasure! I do love a challenge, but you gave me a doozy, or should I say… 6 doozies! It’s said that a portrait will only be as good as the reference photo, but you and I proved that it can still be done. Working from those limited, blurry reference photos took a bit more time and patience, but with your detailed verbal, descriptions and good communication, I was able to visualize and still create an awesome painting of your mother’s 6 cats! I can’t wait to see the video of her reaction when she finally receives this special gift from you! Thank you!

🎨 Michele Levani — Order Custom Pet Portraits Online, Shipped Nationwide
Michele Levani creates custom pet portraits ordered entirely online and shipped nationwide anywhere in the United States. Unlike Pet Portrait Artists, PetWorks' local category for hiring an artist near you, Custom Pet Portraits is built for pet parents who want to order online and have their portrait shipped to their door, regardless of location.
Whether you're looking for a realistic oil painting, a vibrant watercolor, a charcoal drawing, or a stylized digital illustration, Michele works with you to create a one-of-a-kind portrait that captures your pet's personality, spirit, and the qualities that make them yours.
Ordering with Michele: What to Expect
Ordering a custom pet portrait with Michele is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins online. 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.
Michele 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, Michele gets to work. Most custom pet portrait 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 your door or delivered as a digital file, depending on the medium and your preference. Most orders are completed within 2–6 weeks, though timelines vary by medium, complexity, and the artist's current schedule. Always confirm turnaround with Michele before ordering, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.
Shipping Custom Pet Portraits Nationwide
Michele Levani accepts custom pet portrait orders from anywhere in the United States. The entire process happens online, you upload your photos, correspond through PetWorks, and receive your finished portrait by mail or digital delivery, no matter where you are.
🦔 How to Order from Michele on PetWorks
On Michele Levani's listing page, use 'Book Now' to place your order directly, or 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Send Message' to start a conversation about your portrait. Michele will discuss your vision, preferred style, size, and medium before you commit, because the right fit matters, and taking a few minutes to correspond before ordering 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 an order is canceled through no fault of yours, and help resolving any issues along the way.
Tips for a Great Custom Pet Portrait
Getting the most out of your order starts with good reference photos. Clear, well-lit shots taken at your pet's eye level work best. Natural light is your friend, since 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. If you have a specific style, background, or size in mind, mention it upfront. Most custom pet portrait artists welcome creative direction and will work with you to bring your vision to life.
As a general guide, custom pet portrait orders 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 Michele's pricing packages above for specific rates.
