As a passionate watercolor artist specializing in pet portraits, I truly cherish capturing the unique spirit of your beloved companions. With a keen eye for detail and a love for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and even snakes—I've been serving pet parents for over five years. I understand that each pet has its own personality, and I strive to reflect that in every piece I create. My portraits typically measure 9x12, providing you with a perfect addition to your home decor that honors your furry, feathered, or scaly friend.

To ensure that I capture your pet's essence, I invite you to share as many photos as possible. Together, we can select the perfect image for your painting. I also offer flexible online sessions, allowing us to collaborate no matter where you are. Whether you're interested in a charming portrait of your playful pup or a serene depiction of your calm cat, I’m here to make your vision come to life. You can check out my website for examples of my work and see how I bring pets to life through art.

I take pride in providing a personalized experience and am committed to ensuring your satisfaction. My cancellation policy is flexible, making it easy for you to adjust our plans if needed.

🌟 Debbie Ebeling — Pet Portrait Artist in Chapel Hill, NC


Debbie is a local pet portrait artist based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, hand-painting and hand-drawing custom pet portraits for pet parents in Orange County and the surrounding area. Unlike Custom Pet Portraits, PetWorks' nationwide ordering category, Pet Portrait Artists connects you directly with artists based near you.


Debbie creates handcrafted pet paintings, pet drawings, and pet illustrations 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 Debbie: What to Expect


Hiring a pet portrait artist is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins with a conversation. Share your favorite photos of your pet, discuss the style and medium that appeals to you, whether that's a pet painting, pet drawing, or pet illustration, and talk through any specific ideas or requests you have in mind.


Debbie 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, Debbie 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 delivered by mail or 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 Debbie before booking, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.

Tips for a Great Portrait


Getting the most out of your portrait starts with good reference photos. Clear, well-lit shots taken at your pet's eye level work best. Natural light is your friend, since 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 Debbie 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 Debbie's pricing packages above for specific rates.
