Customer Reviews

I am absolutely blown away by this portrait of my dog, Frankie. It looks exactly like him, down to his sweet face and little personality that made him so special. From the moment I saw it, I got emotional because it truly feels like I’m looking at my boy again.

Kelly is incredibly talented and has such a gift for capturing not just how a pet looks, but who they are. This piece means more to me than I can even put into words, and I will treasure it forever.

If you’re considering having a portrait done of your pet, I cannot recommend her enough.

🎨 Kelly Rothen-Morris | Custom Pet Portraits Ordered Online and Shipped Nationwide


Kelly Rothen-Morris creates personalized custom pet portraits from photographs, accepting online orders from pet parents throughout the United States. Whether you want a hand-painted portrait of your dog, cat, or another beloved animal, Kelly works with you to turn your favorite photo into a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork. The entire ordering process takes place online, so you can commission a custom portrait without arranging an in-person meeting.


Depending on the artist's offerings, custom pet portraits may be available in watercolor, acrylic, oil, charcoal, pencil, or digital formats. Each artist has their own artistic style, available sizes, materials, and ordering options. Explore Kelly Rothen-Morris's portfolio and pricing packages to see the portrait styles and options currently available.


How Custom Pet Portraits Work


Ordering a custom pet portrait begins with choosing a photograph of your pet and discussing your ideas with Kelly. You'll have an opportunity to share the image you want used, your preferred portrait style, the number of pets to include, and any special details you'd like considered.


Before starting the artwork, Kelly can discuss the reference photo, composition, size, background, and other preferences with you. Some artists may recommend a different photograph or suggest adjustments to help achieve the result you're looking for. Confirm the details, pricing, and expected completion time before placing your order.


Once the details are agreed upon, Kelly creates your personalized portrait. Depending on the artist's process, you may be able to review progress images or discuss adjustments before the artwork is finished. Your completed portrait is delivered as a shipped physical artwork or digital file, depending on the artist's available options and the package you select.


Custom Pet Portraits Available Nationwide


You can order a custom pet portrait from Kelly Rothen-Morris from anywhere in the United States. You don't need to live near the artist or arrange a studio visit. Share your pet's photographs online, communicate through PetWorks, and coordinate the artwork and delivery directly with the professional.


Physical portraits may be shipped to your address, while digital portraits may be delivered electronically when offered. Shipping availability, costs, delivery methods, and international order options vary by artist. Check Kelly Rothen-Morris's listing or ask before ordering to confirm the available delivery options.


Personalized Portraits for Dogs, Cats, and Other Beloved Animals


A custom pet portrait can celebrate a current companion, preserve the memory of a pet who has passed away, or make a thoughtful gift for someone who loves animals. Depending on the artist's experience and offerings, portraits may be available for dogs, cats, birds, horses, rabbits, and other animals.


Some artists offer portraits featuring multiple pets, pets with their people, personalized backgrounds, or memorial details. These options are artist-specific and may affect the price, artwork size, and completion time. Contact Kelly to discuss your ideas before ordering.


Choosing a Style, Size, and Medium


Custom pet portraits can take many forms. Watercolor paintings often have a soft, expressive appearance, while acrylic and oil paintings can offer richer color and texture. Pencil, charcoal, and other drawing styles provide different ways to capture your pet's features. Digital portraits offer another option when an electronic finished file is preferred.


The available styles and materials depend on each artist. Browse Kelly Rothen-Morris's portfolio and listing packages to see examples of completed work, available sizes, and pricing. If you have a particular look in mind, send a message before ordering to confirm that Kelly can accommodate your request.


Tips for Choosing the Right Pet Photo


A good reference photo gives an artist useful detail to work from. Whenever possible, choose a clear, well-lit image where your pet's face and distinctive features are easy to see. Natural lighting, sharp focus, and a photograph taken near your pet's eye level can help show details such as eye color, fur patterns, and facial expression.


If you are considering several photographs, you can share more than one and ask Kelly which image may work best. You can also explain your pet's personality, favorite expressions, or any details you especially want included. Confirm whether the artist can combine multiple reference photos or make requested changes to the composition.


Pricing and Turnaround Times


Custom pet portrait prices vary according to the artist, medium, artwork size, number of pets, level of detail, and any additional personalization. Review Kelly Rothen-Morris's pricing packages above for current options and rates. If your desired size, style, or composition is not listed, use Get Custom Quote or Send Message to discuss a custom order.


Completion and delivery times also vary. The time required depends on the artist's schedule, the complexity of the portrait, the selected medium, and shipping arrangements for physical artwork. Ask Kelly for an estimated completion and delivery timeframe before ordering, especially if the portrait is intended as a birthday, holiday, anniversary, or memorial gift.
