Tommy's Artworks - Pet Portrait Artist - Raleigh, NC
I lovingly paint or draw pets as well as people and other subjects. Let's work together to create a painting or drawing that will be a wonderful heirloom. I can work from your photos or you can hire me to take some photos for you.
Pets give love unconditionally so I completely understand why customers want pet portrait paintings so much. All of my pet paintings are done from scratch. I've painted pets in a variety of ways over the years. Some customers want realism, while others prefer a somewhat loose style of painting. I have also done a cartoon look. See pricing below.
I received my bachelor's degree in Graphic Design from NC State University. I've continued to pursue the arts in various forms. Contact me today. I will be happy to discuss your project with you. My studio is in Raleigh, North Carolina. I will do my best to create something you will treasure for years to come.
Testimonials:
"Not only does Tommy have incredible talent, but he is incredibly nice and a pleasure to work with. Over the course of three years, Tommy painted two 16 x 20 regular canvas loose acrylic pet paintings for me. He painted a portrait of my Siberian Husky, Mila, and German Shepherd, Tasha. Needless to say, his work blew my expectations out of the water both times. His attention to detail and care to make sure every detail is perfect is unmatched. Both of the paintings of our dogs were used as gifts for my wife and now are proudly displayed in our home! Tommy even worked with me on a very short deadline leading up to the holiday season. The entire experience was phenomenal, from first contact to meeting up with Tommy at a local coffee shop to receive my paintings. I would highly recommend Tommy for all of your portrait painting needs!" - Kevin
"Tommy has painted several portraits for our family over the last 25 years, including kids, teenagers, horses and dogs. He is able to take an abstract idea and create a lasting memory. Tommy's attention to detail is impeccable and truly makes a work of art come to life! We will continue to use Tommy for projects in the years to come. - Leigh
