Pricing Packages
This price is for a hand-painted digital portait file only. Perfect for those who like to send a gift and have the recipient print the portrait on location.
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!
