BFF Pet Paintings - Denver Colorado Pet Portraits - Nationwide

Verified Member since Mar 2021 Verified checkmark

I paint custom oil paintings on canvas from your photos. Paintings start at $625. I’ve been painting pets full time since 2010. Usually it’s cats, dogs and horses but occasionally I’ll get some interesting subjects like a rabbits, hamsters, raccoons, birds, chicken or just a nice landscape. I ask for a 50% deposit and then the balance when I’m finished and you’re happy with the painting.

I meticulously hand-paint each of my pet portraits to capture the spirit and character of your furry friend. Send me your favorite photo of your BFF and a bit about his/her personality, and I’ll create a custom oil painting you’ll enjoy for years to come.

I’ve had a passion for painting animals all my life. My parents fostered my love of art by enrolling me in classes at the age of 7, which I continued weekly for nine years. While pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Art from San Diego State University, I honed my oil painting skills. I’ve been happily painting animals and landscapes for more than 25 years.

I currently reside in Denver, Colorado, but have hundreds of satisfied customers across the United States and the world.

Please contact and book me on Petworks. Thank you.
