Julie Kitzes - Fort Collins Colorado Pet Portrait Artist - Nationwide

Member since Apr 2022

I work with clients to bring their unique vision to life and capture the essence of their pet's personality while being mindful of the aesthetics of one's home decor. I'm always happy to incorporate favorite toys, locations, or other symbolic elements. I believe in making art accessible to everyone, and can work in a variety of sizes and materials to fit just about any budget. My standard portrait is an 8 x 10" colored pencil and acrylic on bristol board for $150 USD, which includes free shipping within the continental US. Though dogs and cats are the majority of the pets I illustrate, I also do rodents, birds, reptiles, and more. Please contact me through Petworks. Have a great day!
