Realistic Pet Painting in Acrylic - Nationwide

Verified Member since Jun 2025 Verified checkmark

Hello! I am a professional pet portrait artist specializing in acrylic paintings. For commissions like these, I love hearing a little about your pet to start out, then check out your reference photos and get to work creating the perfect painting just for you. These also make wonderful gifts for any animal lovers in your life! My top priority is capturing the personality of the pet, no matter the species.

I have been painting since around 2016, but properly started my small art business in August of 2024 and have been loving creating custom artworks for my clients ever since! I use acrylic paint on stretched canvas, plus use a bit of colored pencil for fine details like whiskers. I do my absolute best to ensure that you will love the outcome, and if you don't adore it I will start over or issue a refund. Plus, shipping is included in the package price, so you know you can book worry-free!
