Custom Pet Portrait from Photo · Pencil & Pastel Art - Nationwide
You know that look, the one that makes everything else disappear. Let's make it last forever.
I'm Alexandra Rey, a dedicated fine artist from Miami with over 20 years of experience immortalizing the essence of beloved pets through my hand-drawn portraits. My work captures such intricate details that they are often mistaken for photographs, and they have garnered worldwide recognition, including features on HGTV's Property Brothers and exhibitions across the U.S. Each portrait is meticulously crafted by hand, using pencil or pastel, to reflect not only the appearance but the spirit of your cherished animal companion. I specialize in capturing a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to more unique pets like ferrets, birds, guinea pigs, and even reptiles, ensuring every pet is celebrated.
Paw Prints Pet Art, founded by me in 2015, is more than just a business; it’s a tribute to the extraordinary bond between humans and animals. Whether you're looking to honor a pet currently bringing joy to your life or commemorate one who has passed, my portraits serve as timeless heirlooms that keep their memory alive in your home. With every stroke, I aim to create a piece that resonates deeply with pet parents, offering a heartfelt keepsake that will be cherished for generations.
I offer free shipping within the U.S., and each masterpiece is accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity, ensuring its value as a true work of art.
Ready to preserve your pet’s legacy with a stunning hand-drawn portrait? I invite you to experience the joy and lasting impact of my art. With a completion time of just 3-4 weeks, your portrait will soon become a treasured part of your family’s history. Don’t wait to celebrate the special animal in your life.
