Pet Portrait Artist Zonia Clancy - Pet Painter - Nationwide

Member since Nov 2018

You're looking for a way to capture that connection you have with your pet in something other than just another photograph, either for yourself or for someone very dear to you, right? I'm here to help you achieve this. I aim to honor that connection that you or a loved one have with their pet in paint.

I have a unique style the creates a photo-realistic look but is distinctly painted. I achieve this using a dry brushing technique that I have developed over the year. I use the texture of the canvas to help create this special look.

My most popular background is the abstract "Splatter" style, either on white or color. I can also do a "Traditional" solid background color. Fun abstract backgrounds are also available on request. Depending on the look desired there may be an additional fee. Examples have included: abstract fields, beaches, and sand.

I offer a range of canvas sizes, the smallest being 8x10". I also offer the choice between standard canvas and gallery-wrapped canvas (canvas with the ticker edge for that "belongs in an art gallery" look).

I require a high-quality image (a photo from your phone is usually just fine!) to work from. If quality is too low I am not able to blow up the image to place it on the canvas and see the details in the eyes, nose, or mouth to really create the elements that give the portrait the sense that you're looking at your pet. I do reserve the right to refuse a portrait if an appropriate image is not provided. This being said I do everything I can to help you capture the perfect image and encourage sending lots of photos!

A 25% deposit is required at the time of order with the remaining 75% due upon completion before the portrait is shipped.

I look forward to helping honor your pet in paint. Please contact and book me through Petworks. Have a great day!
