Custom Fine Art Pet Portraits - Nationwide

Verified Member since Nov 2019 Verified checkmark

If you are anything like me, your pet is more than just a pet - they're family. They bring joy, comfort and that kind of love that makes every day better. That's exactly what I try to capture in each portrait I paint.

Each portrait is personal. It’s not just about what they look like, but who they are - the little quirks, stories, and moments that make them so special. I’d love to help you create something meaningful and lasting to honor your furry (or feathered) friend.

Clear communication and collaboration throughout the process ensures your portrait exceeds expectations. I’ll work closely with you, using photos and stories to create a painting that reflects your pet’s personality.

Prices include one pet on a simple background, painted in oil, with premium materials on archival, gessoed hardboard panels for an enduring gallery-worthy finish.

Whether you have a bouncy puppy, a distinguished senior dog, a mischievous cat, a chatty bird, or are interested in a wildlife-inspired portrait—I'd be honored to create artwork that captures their essence.

If that sounds like something you’d love, let’s chat!

Custom sizes are available and I may make suggestions as to the best orientation for the composition.

Compositions including additional pets in the same portrait vary in pricing.
