Diana Swoyer - Pet Portrait Artist - Nationwide
Hello. I'm a pet portrait artist who resides in Litchfield, CT. I will create a beautiful watercolor portrait of a very special pet of yours or a friend's. It is an awesome gift. Simply send me via email or by mail your favorite photo(s) of the dog, cat, horse, fish, any creature under the sun that you want to immortalize with a painting. I am available to photograph the pet if needed (extra charges determined by project). It usually takes 2 weeks once I begin the portrait. As I am nearing completion, I will send you a jpeg image via email of your pet's portrait so that you can give me any comments.
So much more than a photo.
A recent quote from a recipient: "This painting was gifted to me this weekend as a surprise and honestly it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever received. This tiny girl was so special to me…not a day goes by where I don’t think of her sweet face and brave little spirit. The most special thing about Bella was that she would give me this look of adoration and love when I held her. You captured that perfectly!!!!! I am ready eyed again typing this. Thank you!! The work you do is so INCREDIBLE and I hope to meet you one day. It is clear you have a true love for animals and a gift from the divine. Thank you again!!!"
