Hand-Painted Digital Painting Printed on Canvas
A beautiful, modern option for wall display. I hand-paint your portrait stroke-by-stroke using a digital stylus as my brush—strictly no AI and no automated filters.
Professional Finish: Printed on high-quality Museum Wrap canvas using archival inks.
Ready to Hang: Arrives with finished sides and hanging hardware included.
Anatomical Precision: Offers perfect likeness with a classic, painterly feel.
Other sizes are available at different rates - please inquire.
🏆 Signature Choice: Hand-Painted Oil on Canvas (Premium Collector's Edition)
The Gold Standard of Portraiture. This remains my most requested finish for clients seeking a true gallery-quality heirloom with physical texture and soul.
Masterful Execution: With over 25 years of experience (painting in oils since 1999), I utilize a sophisticated "underpainting" technique to establish depth and form before finishing the entire piece by hand.
Artist-Grade Materials: I use only professional, high-pigment oil paints for a richness of color and lightfastness designed to last for generations.
Physical Presence: Unlike a flat print, these paintings feature real texture and visible brushstrokes that catch the light and "glow" on your wall.
Other sizes are available at additional cost.

Customer Reviews
I have had Enzie paint 3 of my cat's and I have been so very delighted with each portrait. They are vibrant and warm and capture each cat's personality and charm. I am entirely pleased and would recommend her wholeheartedly!
- Kristine BEnzie, the artist, was amazing to work with! She really listened to what I requested and made it happen. I had 3 separate pics to draw from (one of my dog's face head on). One with her sitting up on the floor...and one of the location where I wanted her to sit in the pic (but that pic had another dog vs her). She had to meld these three together to come up with this and it's perfect. I had one tweak to the final draft and she willingly and pleasantly worked with me till it was just right. She never made me feel like a pain! HIGHLY recommend. :)
- Paige EEnzie has done a beautiful job capturing 2 of my pets. Not only is her talent undeniable, she is truly a beautiful human herself. Her care for me and my family as she captures the spirit of my fur kids is nothing short of genuine and greatly appreciated. I will be back again and again.
- Virginia CI searched several years ago for an artist to paint my “babies” - I chose ENZIE because she took the extra time to ask me questions, send me different poses with different backgrounds. She’s prompt in responding, pleasant, and very talented! Framed this art and LOVE IT!!
- Jeanine SThe portrait is beautiful! Wanted to do something very special for my brother who recently lost his beloved mother-in-law. The process was easy, Enzie is fantastic to work with, and the portrait is beautiful. My brother and his partner absolutely love it! Thank you again Enzie! Happy Holidays!

- Terri Q🎨 About Enzie Shahmiri
Enzie Shahmiri offers custom pet portraits ordered entirely online and delivered to your door anywhere in the United States. PetWorks is a nationwide pet care services marketplace where pet parents can browse and order from talented independent artists — in any style, shipped to your door. Whether you're looking for a lifelike oil painting, a vibrant watercolor, a charcoal drawing, or a stylized digital illustration, Enzie 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 Enzie: What to Expect
Ordering a custom pet portrait with Enzie is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins online. 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.
Enzie 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, Enzie 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 portraits are completed within 2–6 weeks, though timelines vary by medium, complexity, and the artist's current schedule. Always confirm turnaround with Enzie before ordering, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.
Based in Los Angeles, CA — Shipping Custom Pet Portraits Nationwide
Enzie Shahmiri is based in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, and accepts custom pet portrait orders from anywhere in the United States and beyond. 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 Enzie on PetWorks
On Enzie Shahmiri'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. Enzie 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. So you can focus on your portrait with complete peace of mind.
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 — 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 Enzie 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 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 Enzie's pricing packages above for specific rates.
