To create your custom pet portrait, I work directly from photos—so the more pictures you can send me the better! I only require payment after the painting is complete; once finished, I’ll send an invoice with payment options via credit or debit card only (no deposit needed). For the background, I typically use a more abstract style to keep the focus on your pet, which most clients prefer. However, if you have a specific background style in mind for your pet portrait, please feel free to mention it in the form below. Additionally, I can remove collars or harnesses upon request to keep the attention on your pet’s natural features.

My painting style is profoundly influenced by my time at The Art Students League of New York, where I spent years developing my technique, focuses on creating realistic pet portraits that bring out each pet's unique personality and spirit. In every custom pet painting, I aim to go beyond the original photo, adding depth, emotion, and a lifelike quality that captures the essence of your beloved pet. A detail clients often comment on is my attention to the eyes, which are especially realistic and bring life to each dog portrait or cat painting I create. I use impressionistic touches and expressive brushstrokes, transforming a simple photo into a cherished piece of art that feels both alive and timeless.

Each custom pet portrait arrives in a sleek black gift box, designed to protect the artwork and enhance the unboxing experience, making it ideal for gifting as well. Every painting is created on a traditional, high-quality canvas with painted edges, providing a gallery-ready look that displays beautifully with or without a frame. To verify the quality and authenticity of your pet portrait, each piece includes a Certificate of Authenticity. These details, from the protective gift box to the authentic certification, ensure that your portrait is both safeguarded and beautifully presented, making it a cherished, lasting keepsake.
