Julie Dalton Gourgues Pet Portrait Artist - Nationwide
I work closely with you to capture your beloved pet's essence in the painting. My mission is to provide you with a painting that allows the love you have for the subject to become timeless. This is achieved by working closely with you from initial concept sketches through in-process photos and final approval before a painting is shipped. Each painting is an honor and a thrill for me to produce.
A recent testimonial: "We could not be more in love with not only the result, but the creative process of having this painting commissioned by the incredible @jdgportraitartist. She made the entire experience so wonderful and speedy. We texted back and forth during the process to approve of colors, shapes, etc, and at times, I forgot I was texting someone I hired for work and felt like I was texting a friend. I could not recommend Julie enough."
