Main Services

I love painting your pets! I can paint any animal, either plain or with any accessory/item of clothing added on. My preferred surface to work on is a wood panel, but am also happy to paint on canvas if that’s what you prefer. I always paint the edges of the panel/canvas so that it’s ready to hang on your wall without needing to be framed.

Process

To start the custom portrait process, send me an email detailing what you’re looking for. I’ll need 2-3 high quality photos of your pet, preferably looking straight at the camera. Once we agree on all details, I require a 50% non-refundable deposit before I can get started. I will then send progress pictures throughout, and will check-in with you to make sure everything is looking good.

Timeline

It can take me 1-2 months to complete a commission, depending on several factors — I still work a full-time day job and I have a baby, so I get most of my painting done on weekends. Also, the larger the painting the longer it will take me to finish it. If you have a tight timeline, please let me know immediately and I’ll let you know if I think it’s feasible.

Prices

Prices can be influenced by many factors, such as size, level of detail, and clothing add-ons, as seen in the below pricing chart. These are pre-shipping costs. Note that if we agree that I can resell the image as prints, cards etc, I will add an additional discount.
