Soul Dance Art - Boulder CO Pet Portrait Artist - Nationwide
As a passionate pet portrait artist with over 12 years of experience, I specialize in capturing the unique personalities of your beloved animals. I create stunning portraits not just of dogs, cats, birds, and horses, but I also love including their human companions in the artwork, making each piece a cherished family memory. My artistic journey has been deeply rewarding, and I take pride in the joy my portraits bring to pet parents like you.
Each custom portrait starts at $500 for a standard size of 16”x20”. I focus on details that bring your pet to life, and all I need is your favorite photograph as a reference. Typically, the painting process takes about two weeks, allowing me to ensure every stroke is perfect. While I don’t offer mobile services, I am pleased to accommodate flexible cancellation policies for your convenience.
Ready to commemorate your pet in a beautiful and personal way? I am here to help you every step of the way, ensuring that your vision comes to life on canvas. Let’s create a timeless piece that celebrates your furry, feathered, or hooved family members together! Book me through Petworks today!

We feel so incredibly special to have this beautiful piece of art in our home! I can't even describe how blown away we were when first saw it, we were both literally brought to tears. This is the greatest gift anyone could ever give me and you captured her essence so perfectly I'm just stunned. Thank you so so so much, we will treasure this forever and we can't wait to commission some portraits for our other babies! - Crested Butte, Colorado
- Rain SThis was gifted to me recently and I honestly still haven’t stopped crying. This is of my dog who recently passed and means more to me than anyone could ever know. My friend secretly found a photo from Facebook and Sarah recreated it better than any printer ever could. She is truly gifted at capturing souls and anyone would be blessed to have one of her masterful works hanging in their home. I’ve never met Sarah but thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, you are truly gifted and it means the world to me. - Athens, Ohio
- Chelsea DThe portrait of my dog Lou, is cherished by the entire family. Sarah captured his personality perfectly, it's all in the eyes! She also coordinated the paint colors with our house decor so it's a stunning piece for our home. I can't say enough about our pet portrait, it makes us happy and warms our hearts. - Boulder, Colorado
