There is approximately a 1-2 week turnaround time to complete. I will text you a photo of the drawing once complete before shipping and request payment for shipping via text once I know the shipping cost. The smallest and most popular size offered is an 8x10 of one animal and comes matted and framed - all for $290.

- Kim Mπ About Ashley Brickner
Ashley is a professional pet portrait artist based in Greenville, SC, serving clients locally and nationwide through PetWorks. With a passion for capturing the personality, energy, and spirit of animal companions, Ashley creates handcrafted portraits that go far beyond what a photograph can offer β each one a genuine one-of-a-kind work of art, made from your favorite photo and tailored to your exact vision. Ashley 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 Ashley
Commissioning a portrait with Ashley is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins with a conversation β 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. Ashley takes the time to understand not just what your pet looks like, but who they are β their character, their quirks, and the qualities that make them yours.
From there, Ashley 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 β depending on the medium and your preference. Most portraits are completed within 2β6 weeks, though timelines vary by medium, complexity, and the artist's current schedule. Always confirm turnaround with Ashley before booking, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.
π¦ How to Book Ashley on PetWorks
On Ashley Brickner's listing page, use 'Send Message' or 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Book Now' to start a conversation about your commission. Ashley will discuss your vision, answer any questions, and send you a personalized quote through the PetWorks inbox β 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 β 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 β 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 β 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 Ashley 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 β 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 $75β$200 for small portraits, $200β$500 for medium, and $500β$1,200 or more for large or multi-pet works. Browse Ashley's pricing packages above for specific rates.
