I absolutely love painting custom pet portraits. They're an excellent way to treasure your beloved furry friend. Because pets tend to be squirmy, I work from photos that you happen to be especially fond of.

Process:
We chat about what you’re looking for – this is a good time to email me a selection of photos that you’re considering and we decide what will work well as a painting. The conversation then turns to specifics: time frame, size, preferred medium, etc.

I’m happy to play with backgrounds, lighting, or just about any other way to spruce up a snapshot that you would otherwise love. I’ll send you a digital sketch prior to starting the painting.

Small portraits normally take about a month to 2 months to complete, larger paintings take approximately 2 -6 months depending on complexity and my current schedule.

Pricing
Paintings start at $300 and go up based on size and number of pets.

Please contact and book me on PetWorks. Thank you.

How did you hone your craft?

Armed with my grandmother’s artistic proclivities, a stack of Brian Froud books, and some watercolors, I taught myself to paint when I was a kid. I spent a year and a half at an art school in Southern California (the Laguna College of Art & Design), which I adored, and have continued honing my skills ever since.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

You can never have enough patience.

What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!

I donate a portion of my sales to organizations helping support wildlife and the environment, from Audubon, to WildAid, to the Ocean Foundation. So when you buy a piece of art from me, not only will you get something delightful to look at, or give as a gift, you’ll also be contributing to some really excellent causes.

🎨 Maggie Hurley — Order Custom Pet Portraits Online, Shipped Nationwide


Maggie Hurley creates custom pet portraits ordered entirely online and shipped nationwide anywhere in the United States. Unlike Pet Portrait Artists, PetWorks' local category for hiring an artist near you, Custom Pet Portraits is built for pet parents who want to order online and have their portrait shipped to their door, regardless of location.


Whether you're looking for a realistic oil painting, a vibrant watercolor, a charcoal drawing, or a stylized digital illustration, Maggie works with you to create a one-of-a-kind portrait that captures your pet's personality, spirit, and the qualities that make them yours.


Ordering with Maggie: What to Expect


Ordering a custom pet portrait with Maggie is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins online. 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.


Maggie 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, Maggie gets to work. Most custom 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 shipped directly to your door or delivered as a digital file, depending on the medium and your preference. Most orders are completed within 2–6 weeks, though timelines vary by medium, complexity, and the artist's current schedule. Always confirm turnaround with Maggie before ordering, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.


Shipping Custom Pet Portraits Nationwide


Maggie Hurley accepts custom pet portrait orders from anywhere in the United States. The entire process happens online, you upload your photos, correspond through PetWorks, and receive your finished portrait by mail or digital delivery, no matter where you are.


🦔 How to Order from Maggie on PetWorks


On Maggie Hurley's listing page, use 'Book Now' to place your order directly, or 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Send Message' to start a conversation about your portrait. Maggie will discuss your vision, preferred style, size, and medium before you commit, because the right fit matters, and taking a few minutes to correspond before ordering is always worth it.


When you're ready, payment is handled securely through PetWorks: 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 an order is canceled through no fault of yours, and help resolving any issues along the way.


Tips for a Great Custom Pet Portrait


Getting the most out of your order 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 artist the most to work with.


Beyond photos, the more you can share about your pet's personality the better. If you have a specific style, background, or size in mind, mention it upfront. Most custom pet portrait artists welcome creative direction and will work with you to bring your vision to life.


As a general guide, custom pet portrait orders 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 Maggie's pricing packages above for specific rates.
