As a passionate pet portrait artist with the certification from the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP), I take great pride in capturing the unique personalities of your beloved fur babies. With over three years of experience, I specialize in creating stunning photo-realistic graphite drawings and vibrant acrylic paintings that serve as cherished keepsakes. I work with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even horses! Whether your furry friend is under 20 lbs or over 80 lbs, I ensure that each portrait reflects their unique charm and character.

I offer two exquisite options for pet portraits: my detailed photo-realistic graphite drawings start at just $80 for an 8x10 size featuring one pet. If you prefer a splash of color, my acrylic paintings on canvas begin at $100 for the same size and number of pets. All prices include shipping, making it easy for you to receive your custom art right at your doorstep. If you have specific needs or want to discuss other sizes, don’t hesitate to reach out; I’m here to bring your vision to life.

Ready to celebrate your pet in a truly unique way? I also provide online consultations to make the process convenient for you, no matter where you are. Your satisfaction is my priority, so I maintain a flexible cancellation policy to accommodate any unforeseen circumstances. Don't wait any longer to immortalize your pet’s spirit through art.

🌟 About Valerie Moser


Valerie is a professional pet portrait artist based in Ladson, SC, serving clients locally and nationwide through PetWorks. With a passion for capturing the personality, energy, and spirit of animal companions, Valerie creates handcrafted portraits that go far beyond what a photograph can offer β€” each one a genuine one-of-a-kind work of art, made from your favorite photo and tailored to your exact vision. Valerie 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 Valerie


Commissioning a portrait with Valerie is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins with a conversation β€” 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. Valerie takes the time to understand not just what your pet looks like, but who they are β€” their character, their quirks, and the qualities that make them yours.


From there, Valerie 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 β€” 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 Valerie before booking, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.


πŸ¦” How to Book Valerie on PetWorks


On Valerie Moser's listing page, use 'Send Message' or 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Book Now' to start a conversation about your commission. Valerie will discuss your vision, answer any questions, and send you a personalized quote through the PetWorks inbox β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 Valerie 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 β€” 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 Valerie's pricing packages above for specific rates.

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


Can Valerie paint multiple pets in one portrait? Many PetWorks artists offer multi-pet compositions β€” reach out to Valerie 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. Valerie 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 Valerie ship nationwide? Yes β€” 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 β€” the goal is always a result you love.
