Playful Pet Portraits by Rae Marie - Pet Painter Artist - Nationwide
Playful Pet Portraits began its journey from an artists' heartfelt desire to paint beautiful works of art that bring joy to pet owner enthusiasts. Rae Marie uses soft pastels on suede board. This special combination allows her to achieve that subtle realism that entices the viewer to reach out and pet the happy furry faces.
Each painting is unique with the client's preference to either bold and bright colors or poetically subdued tones. Each portrait represents someone's furry family member with "that look" that makes them smile. They have been presented as Christmas and Birthday surprises that will be cherished for a lifetime. Inevitably, some are for memorials for their "paw-some" companion that gave unconditional love.
Rae Marie will use your photos as a reference, work out a nice composition and send it to you for your approval when you order your portrait.

What to Expect When Working with Rae Marie
Commissioning a portrait with Rae Marie is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins with a conversation — 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. Rae Marie 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, Rae Marie 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 — depending on the medium and your preference. Most portraits are completed within 2–6 weeks, though timelines vary by medium, complexity, and the artist's current schedule. Always confirm turnaround with Rae Marie before booking, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.
🦔 How to Book Rae Marie on PetWorks

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 — 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 — 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 Rae Marie 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 — 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 $75–$200 for small portraits, $200–$500 for medium, and $500–$1,200 or more for large or multi-pet works. Browse Rae Marie's pricing packages above for specific rates.
