Paradise Pet Portraits - Paradise, CA
As a passionate artist and pet lover, I’ve been creating original, custom hand-drawn pencil sketches of animals for over four years. My love for drawing began when I was just a child, and I’ve since honed my skills to capture the unique essence of each pet I portray. I specialize in a wide array of beloved animals, including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and even more exotic pets like lizards and ferrets. My goal is to create a timeless piece of art that reflects the personality and soul of your furry (or scaly) companion.
I take pride in my commitment to quality and detail, ensuring that every sketch is not only a beautiful representation but also a cherished keepsake. As an insured pet professional, I understand the importance of trust when it comes to capturing the likeness of your beloved animals. My flexible cancellation policy makes booking a breeze, and I am available for both in-person consultations and online sessions, allowing you to connect with me no matter where you are. Whether your pet is small or large, I can accommodate sketches for animals of all sizes, from under 20 lbs to over 80 lbs.
If you're ready to celebrate your pet's unique spirit with a stunning piece of art, I invite you to book me through Petworks today! Let’s create a lasting memory that you and your family will treasure for years to come.

🌟 Robin Shields — Pet Portrait Artist in Paradise, CA
Robin is a local pet portrait artist based in Paradise, California, hand-painting and hand-drawing custom pet portraits for pet parents in Butte County and the surrounding area. Unlike Custom Pet Portraits, PetWorks' nationwide ordering category, Pet Portrait Artists connects you directly with artists based near you.
Robin 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 Robin: 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.
Robin 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, Robin 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 Robin 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 Robin 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 Robin's pricing packages above for specific rates.
