Send your photos

  • Email several photos to me and I will suggest a size and photo crop for the best portrait. If you have a size already in mind, feel free to let me know.

  • If you have multiple pets you’d like included, just ask for a quote.

  • Once your painting is underway, it will take approximately 2-3 weeks to complete, varnish, and be ready to pick up or ship.

enjoy your original painting

  • Your custom portrait is hand-painted by me, using acrylic paints on a smooth-surfaced archival hardboard panel.

  • Each portrait is uniquely inspired by the animal it portrays. Once I have made significant progress, I will send you photos and ask for any insights you might have so that I may achieve the greatest likeness and spirit of your pet.

  • When your painting is complete, a layer of gloss varnish is applied giving your artwork a smooth, protective, and glossy finish.
