Pet Portraits - Working Dogs and Therapy Animals - Madison, WI

Verified Member since Mar 2026 Verified checkmark

As a passionate pet portrait artist with over 18 years of experience as an art educator, I now dedicate my full-time efforts to capturing the unique essence of your beloved animals through my artwork. My specialties include custom pet portraits, working dogs, therapy animals, and heartfelt "in memory of" pieces. Whether you're looking for a personalized depiction of your cat, dog, horse, or parrot, I am equipped with the skills and dedication to create a masterpiece that resonates. Feel free to explore my artistic journey and diverse portfolio on my website, dreckportraits.com.

I have always been deeply connected to animals, having grown up on a dairy farm and being both a cat and dog owner myself. This lifelong love and admiration for all creatures are reflected in each piece I create. My artwork ranges in size from 11 x 17 up to 18 x 24, with custom sizes available to suit your unique needs. With each project, I treat the animal and owner with the utmost respect, ensuring that the final piece is not just a portrait, but a cherished memory.

Relocating my focus to full-time artistry has allowed me to embrace every opportunity to bring joy to pet owners through my work. With a commitment to quality and personal connection, I am excited to work with many more pet lovers and their furry, feathered, or hooved companions. Ready to transform your pet's spirit into a work of art? Book me through Petworks today, and let's create something truly special together!
