Love on those pets! I can create a custom work of art just for you of your pet. It can be made as a sketch in pencil or a watercolor. The finished artwork can be done in two sizes including a mat and backing.

I'm a passionate pet portrait artist based in Mineral Ridge, OH. With a deep love for animals and a flair for creativity, I specialize in capturing the unique personalities and charm of beloved pets on canvas. Each stroke of my brush is a labor of love, bringing out the essence of your furry or feathered family members. Whether it's a playful pup, a regal cat, or a chirpy parrot, I aim to create treasured keepsakes that celebrate the bond between pets and their owners. My studio in Mineral Ridge is a place where pet lovers can witness the magic of art and animals coming together.

Please contact and book me on Petworks. Thank you.

🌟 Laurie Anderson — Pet Portrait Artist in Mineral Ridge, OH

Laurie is a local pet portrait artist based in Mineral Ridge, Ohio, hand-painting and hand-drawing custom pet portraits for pet parents in Trumbull County and the surrounding area. Unlike Custom Pet Portraits, PetWorks' nationwide ordering category, Pet Portrait Artists connects you directly with artists based near you.

Laurie creates handcrafted pet paintings, pet drawings, and pet illustrations that go far beyond what a photograph can offer, each one a genuine one-of-a-kind work of art, made from your favorite photo and tailored to your exact vision.

Working with Laurie: What to Expect

Hiring a pet portrait artist is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins with a conversation. Share your favorite photos of your pet, discuss the style and medium that appeals to you, whether that's a pet painting, pet drawing, or pet illustration, and talk through any specific ideas or requests you have in mind.

Laurie 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, Laurie gets to work. Most 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 delivered by mail or as a digital file, 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 Laurie before booking, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.

🦔 How to Hire Laurie on PetWorks

Laurie will discuss your vision, answer any questions, and send you a personalized quote through the PetWorks inbox, because the right pet portrait 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: 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.

Tips for a Great Portrait

Getting the most out of your portrait 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 pet portrait 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 Laurie 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. Most pet portrait artists welcome creative direction and will work with you to bring your vision to life.

As a general guide, pet portrait artist 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 Laurie's pricing packages above for specific rates.
