Custom Acrylic Pet Portraits – Professional Painter - Nationwide
I'm a full-time professional painter with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts and over 25 years of experience in visual arts. Painting is my full-time profession, not a hobby, and I bring that same level of skill and dedication to every commission, including pet portraits.
I work across multiple mediums, and for pet portraits I primarily use acrylic on canvas, which captures rich color, texture, and the subtle details of your pet's coat and expression beautifully. If you prefer a different medium - oil, watercolor, or charcoal - I'm happy to accommodate that as well.
How it works: Send me a clear reference photo of your pet, along with your preferred size and any specific details (background color, multiple pets, etc.). I'll paint your portrait by hand, capturing not just their likeness, but their personality and character.
Turnaround time: 3 days
Shipping: Free, on all canvas portraits
Whether it's to honor a beloved companion, celebrate a special occasion, or simply add a unique piece of art to your home, every portrait is created with the same craftsmanship and attention to detail I bring to my professional artwork.
Reach out to discuss your project - I look forward to creating something meaningful for you and your pet.

🌟 Jorge Marin — Pet Portrait Artist in West New York, NJ
Jorge is a local pet portrait artist based in West New York, New Jersey, hand-painting and hand-drawing custom pet portraits for pet parents in Hudson County and the surrounding area. Unlike Custom Pet Portraits, PetWorks' nationwide ordering category, Pet Portrait Artists connects you directly with artists based near you.
Jorge 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 Jorge: 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.
Jorge 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, Jorge 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 Jorge before booking, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.

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 Jorge 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 Jorge's pricing packages above for specific rates.
