Soulful Pet Portraits (Custom Watercolor Paintings) - Nationwide
Painting pets for the last six years has led me to meet many amazing people and hear about the unique relationships pets have with their humans. Each pet relationship is unique, and no two pet relationships are the same. Through my paintings, I aim to honor all animals, their families, and the stories they tell.
Growing up with an art teacher as a father, I was encouraged to create at a young age. By studying drawing and painting in high school and majoring in Fine Arts at California State University Long Beach where I was given the opportunity to study abroad in Florence, Italy, I studied the characteristics of the face and the many expressions of the eyes. What intrigued me about the human face in figural paintings still captivates me when I’m painting animals-each face is unique.
The moment I figured out how to use my art to impact others in a positive way was in February 2018 when a friend asked me to paint their canine pet. That was when I realized I could combine my love for animals with my passions for art. I love capturing the soul or aura of each pet by carefully choosing colors that make each animal come to life.
I’ve named my work “Soulful Pet Portraits” because I want to convey the inner essence of each animal I paint. To me, the most crucial aspect in my watercolor paintings is capturing the language our pets speak through their eyes. I believe our pets communicate a message about unconditional love and that’s what I aim to portray in my art.

Looking for a gift for a friend or loved one that won't "break the bank"? Although all pet portraits are priceless, sometimes we are looking for a small gift just to say "thinking of you" or just want to gift someone a little happiness. A 4x4 pet portrait is perfect specifically for those kind gestures!
The portrait will be painted on a flat 4x4 Ampersand aquabord. Each portrait is customized for you and will come with an easel for easy display.
Your portrait will be painted directly on aquabord, cradled on 1.5" deep unfinished wood. Aquabord is an archival, acid-free textured clay surface that absorbs watercolors like a fine paper. Aquabord allows colors to retain their purity and vibrancy in a way that even the finest watercolor papers can't match.
Your portrait will come framed and sealed with a clear archival varnish and can be displayed glass-free, keeping colors and textures true to life!
Pricing does not include shipping costs. Local pick-up and delivery options are available!
