Original Ink & Watercolor Pet Portraits - Nationwide
In the world of pet portraiture, I bring a unique blend of artistry and personalization to create cherished keepsakes for pet lovers. With a background in graphic design and children's illustration, I founded my pet gift company in the early 2000s. Over the past decade, I've honed my craft to specialize in mini-portraits that capture the essence of your beloved pet. Each 3"x5" illustration is thoughtfully crafted to fit perfectly in a 4"x6" frame, ideal for celebrating a pet's life or offering comfort during times of loss. As an illustrator of all animals, that includes birds, cats, chickens, dogs, ducks, ferrets, goats, and rabbits.
My process is straightforward and personal, beginning with a short consultation where you can share quality photos and a fun description of your pet's quirks and traits. This collaboration ensures that the final product is a true reflection of your pet, making it a heartfelt gift for any occasion—from memorials to birthdays or Valentine's surprises. While I am often commissioned for dogs and cats, I am delighted to illustrate any type of animal, (even fish!) My art style remains consistent, offering you the assurance of knowing exactly what to expect in your custom piece.
Seeing the joy and comfort my portraits bring to pet owners is incredibly rewarding, and I am eager to craft a piece that will hold a special place in your heart. Whether you're looking for a fun gift or a touching tribute, my illustrations offer a timeless way to honor the pets we hold dear. Ready to get started? Book me through Petworks today!

🌟 About Colleen Finn
Colleen is a pet portrait artist based in Atlanta, Georgia, serving clients locally in Fulton County and nationwide through PetWorks, one of the leading platforms for finding pet portrait artists across the United States. With a passion for capturing the personality, energy, and spirit of animal companions, Colleen 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.
Working with Colleen: What to Expect
Commissioning a portrait with Colleen 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.
Colleen 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, Colleen gets to work. Most pet portrait 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 Colleen before booking, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.

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 pet portrait 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 Colleen 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 pet portrait artists welcome creative direction and will work with you to bring your vision to life.
As a general guide, pet portrait artist 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 Colleen's pricing packages above for specific rates.
