Pet Portrait Artist Specializing in Acrylic Paintings - Nationwide

Verified Member since Dec 2025 Verified checkmark

As a passionate pet portrait artist, I bring your cherished companions to life on canvas, capturing their unique spirit and personality. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts and a classical training background, I've been dedicated to painting pet portraits since 2020. Whether your furry friend is a dog, cat, or even a more exotic pet like a snake or parrot, I have the expertise to immortalize them in a stunning piece of art. My experience extends to a wide array of animals, including alpacas, birds, chickens, ducks, ferrets, frogs, gerbils, goats, guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, horses, lizards, mice, and turtles.

My creative process is collaborative and personalized, ensuring that each portrait reflects the true essence of your pet. I understand how meaningful these portraits are, and I strive to provide you with a keepsake you’ll treasure for years to come. Once we begin, you can expect your custom portrait to be completed in approximately four weeks. I offer a flexible cancellation policy because I understand that life with pets can be unpredictable. This flexibility ensures a stress-free experience for you as we work together to create a masterpiece.

If you're ready to see your beloved pet's personality shine through in a beautiful portrait, look no further. I am available for consultations to discuss your vision and how I can bring it to life. From my hands to your home, let’s create something truly special. Ready to get started? Book me through Petworks today!
