I started drawing very early. I remember sitting with my mom at around 3 years old. She'd draw a squiggle, and I'd add to that squiggle. We'd go back and forth adding squiggles until we had a complete picture. That was my favorite game with her.
I always took some kind of art classes growing up, ending up with a degree in Abstract Art from the Univ of MD, College Park. Moving forward, in 1993, I was invited by a fellow artist to participate in a new “chalk event” in Pasadena. I'd never heard of “chalking on the street” and my friend said “it's okay, none of us have”. So I said, “okay, I'm in!” (hahaha) With that, I did my first chalk, fell in love, and never looked back!
The most joyous part if doing what I do is that moment I look at the work in progress and realize that it's actually happening, my inner vision is quite possible going to be a success! (hehehe) If others enjoy what I've done, well, that's some super sweet icing the creative cake!
Please contact and book me through Petworks. Have a great day!

🌟 About Lori Antoinette
Lori is a professional pet portrait artist based in Palmdale, CA, serving clients locally and nationwide through PetWorks. With a passion for capturing the personality, energy, and spirit of animal companions, Lori creates handcrafted portraits that go far beyond what a photograph can offer — each one a genuine one-of-a-kind work of art, made from your favorite photo and tailored to your exact vision. Lori is a recognized and top-rated artist on PetWorks, trusted by pet owners across the country to deliver portraits that are cherished for a lifetime.
What to Expect When Working with Lori
Commissioning a portrait with Lori is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins with a conversation — you'll share your favorite photos of your pet, discuss the style and medium that appeals to you, and talk through any specific ideas or requests you have in mind. Lori takes the time to understand not just what your pet looks like, but who they are — their character, their quirks, and the qualities that make them yours.
From there, Lori gets to work. Most artists on PetWorks share progress photos along the way, giving you the opportunity to provide feedback and request adjustments before the portrait is complete. Once you're happy with the result, your finished portrait is shipped directly to you or delivered as a digital file — depending on the medium and your preference. Most portraits are completed within 2–6 weeks, though timelines vary by medium, complexity, and the artist's current schedule. Always confirm turnaround with Lori before booking, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.
🦔 How to Book Lori on PetWorks
On Lori Antoinette's listing page, use 'Send Message' or 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Book Now' to start a conversation about your commission. Lori will discuss your vision, answer any questions, and send you a personalized quote through the PetWorks inbox — because the right artist fit matters, and taking a few minutes to correspond before committing is always worth it.
When you're ready, payment is handled securely through PetWorks — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Affirm, Link, or Klarna. Care Coverage at checkout gives you access to PetWorks' live Concierge team, full refunds if a booking is canceled through no fault of yours, and help resolving any issues along the way — so you can focus on your portrait with complete peace of mind.
Tips for a Great Portrait
Getting the most out of your commission starts with good reference photos. Clear, well-lit shots taken at your pet's eye level work best — natural light is your friend, and flash-heavy photos tend to flatten features and wash out color. Capture a few different expressions and angles if you can: a close-up of the face, a relaxed resting shot, and a playful or characteristic pose gives your artist the most to work with.
Beyond photos, the more you can share about your pet's personality the better. Is your dog goofy and energetic, or calm and dignified? Does your cat have a signature expression? The small details you share help Lori bring genuine character to the portrait rather than simply reproducing a likeness. If you have a specific style, background, or size in mind, mention it upfront — most artists welcome creative direction and will work with you to bring your vision to life.
As a general guide, pet portrait commissions in the US typically range from $75–$200 for small portraits, $200–$500 for medium, and $500–$1,200 or more for large or multi-pet works. Browse Lori's pricing packages above for specific rates.
