Dawghead - Custom Shaped Pet Portraits - Boston, MA

Member since Sep 2017

✨With a Vintage / Modern vibe - dawgheads are cut from wood and shaped and then painted in oils to truly capture the true spirit and essence of your companion. dawghead.com Custom -Shaped Pet Portraits have been featured in magazines such as The Bark and Modern Dog as well as the dogchannel.com. All types of companion animals are painted and every portrait is fully backed with a Satisfaction Guaranteed policy ( see below )✨

If you would like to commission a portrait - there is a non - refundable 50.00 consultation fee. This will be applied, however, to the final cost of your portrait should you decide to place a commission. There are many factors that will go into getting the right photograph in order to fully capture the personality of your beloved pet. I will work with you to make sure that we have exactly what is needed to do so - as well as discussing and selecting the correct size. Prior to starting your pet's portrait - a deposit ( half down ) will be required. Should the final painting does not capture the essence of your dog, you are no obligation to purchase it. At that time your deposit would be refunded in full. Please note - I take great care to provide a true likeness and am happy to say that I have never had a client request this. : )

Please check out the video to see why these portraits are so unique and will be a cherished keepsake of your beloved pet. Your questions are welcomed with the goal being to make the process of commissioning a portrait fun, easy and exciting for clients. Thank you for your interest. ~

* Please note * If you live in the Boston, MA area and need a little help wrangling a good photo of your pet - we are happy to handle that as well!

Please contact and book me on Petworks. Thank You.

Whether you're looking for a custom portrait of your dog, cat, or another beloved animal, Jennie works with you to turn your favorite photograph into a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork.


Pet portrait commissions are personal projects that reflect your pet's appearance, personality, and the details that make them special.

Browse Jennie Griffith's portfolio to explore examples of their work and the styles they offer.


Working with Jennie : What to Expect


Hiring a pet portrait artist is a collaborative experience. Start by sharing photographs of your pet and discussing the style, medium, size, and composition you have in mind. You can also explain any personal details you'd like reflected in the artwork, such as your pet's distinctive markings, favorite expression, or a memorable pose.


Jennie can discuss your ideas, review your reference photos, and explain the available options before beginning the commission. Some artists may recommend a particular photograph or suggest adjustments to help achieve the desired composition. Confirm the artwork details, pricing, estimated completion time, and delivery arrangements before placing your order.


Once the commission is agreed upon, Jennie creates your portrait. Some artists share progress photos or offer opportunities for feedback before the artwork is completed. These arrangements vary by professional, so ask about previews and revisions when discussing your commission.

Tips for a Great Pet Portrait


A good reference photograph gives your artist useful details to work from. Choose a clear, well-lit image that shows your pet's face, eyes, coloring, and distinctive features. Natural light and sharp focus can help the artist see details that may be difficult to capture in a dark or blurry photograph. Pictures taken near your pet's eye level can also provide a useful perspective.


If you have several favorite photos, share more than one and ask Jennie which image may work best. You can also describe your pet's personality, favorite expressions, and the qualities you most want the portrait to capture. If you have a preferred background, color palette, size, or composition, mention those details when discussing your commission.

Review Jennie Griffith's listing packages for current pricing. If your preferred style or composition is not listed, select Get Custom Quote to discuss a personalized project.


Completion times vary based on the artist's schedule, the complexity of the artwork, the selected medium, and the number of subjects. Ask Jennie for an estimated completion timeframe before placing your order, especially if the portrait is intended as a birthday, holiday, anniversary, or memorial gift.
