Pet Portraits

Let’s get our paws messy…

Portraits bring a sense of belonging and solidity. By seeing our family members in a painting we honor what they bring to our lives–or brought. There is a reason royal families commissioned paintings in their likeness–and that our presidents continue to have their portraits painted! Paint brings life into fullness.

FAQ

Do you only paint cats & dogs?

As a previous ferret mom, I know the love felt for our more “exotic” pets. I would love the opportunity to paint a portrait of a parrot, turtle, ferret, snake–you name it! AND if you order a portrait of a species not pictured on this page you’ll enjoy 10% off your portrait!

Do you ship?

Yep! Just pay shipping & handling!

So…I want the face of my dog from this photo, but the body position from this photo. Can you mix-and-match photo references?

You could pick your pet out of a line-up of similar breeds because you’re their parent. You know them! For this reason, you’ll know when a painting is off. In order to be as accurate as possible I work from one photo rather then compositing together multiple photos for the most accuracy. I understand choosing is the hardest part–but as long as it’s a picture of your furry family member, you’ll love it!

How long does it take to get my portrait back?

Typically, portraits are completed within 2 weeks and mailed. This is typical for holiday-timed portraits.

How do I place an order?

Fill out this form and you’ll receive a confirmation email as well as a link to pay for your piece of art. Please be sure to answer this email as I can’t get started without payment.

Wait…didn’t I read about you in the paper?

You may have! Here’s an article run by The Pulp about my work and what an honor it is to meet your companions.

Do you do memorial paintings?

Pet loss is often a disenfranchised loss meaning it is misunderstood, judged, or undervalued by our larger society. I believe pet loss is loss. Losing a pet is losing a family member. It’s my honor to support you, your family, and/or your friends in their grief journey by providing them a painting of their animal companion. Paintings have a gravitas to them; they offer this tangible proof that this companion lived, made us laugh, and was profoundly important.
