Custom Hand-Painted Pet Portraits
A timeless way to honour your pet with a beautifully crafted portrait
I create custom pet portraits using traditional painting techniques, carefully working from your photographs to capture your pet’s true character. By focusing on fine detail, expression, and personality, I ensure that each portrait is carefully hand-painted. The result is a timeless piece of artwork designed to be treasured for years to come.
With a focus on dog and cat portraits, I actively use traditional fine art mediums to create detailed, lifelike artwork. In addition, I welcome commissions for other pets and wildlife. Whether commissioned as a thoughtful gift or a lasting memorial, I carefully craft each portrait with precision, care, and archival-quality materials.
How the Commission Process Works
1. Send Your Photos
Choose your favourite photographs of your pet and send them through using the contact form. If you’re unsure which images will work best, however, guidance can be provided to help you select the most suitable photos.
2. Choose Size & Medium
Select the portrait size and preferred medium to suit your space and budget. To ensure complete clarity, pricing is confirmed before any work begins.
3. Artwork Created by Hand
I carefully hand-paint your portrait using traditional techniques; as the work progresses, I pay close attention to expression, character, and fine detail so that the finished portrait feels lifelike and refined.
4. Final Delivery
Once complete, your finished artwork is securely packaged and delivered, so that it’s ready to be framed and displayed or gifted.
Commissions are available in a range of sizes and mediums, with worldwide shipping available.
Why Choose a Hand-Painted Pet Portrait
A hand-painted pet portrait offers a level of depth, character, and authenticity that digital images cannot replicate. As a result, each artwork is created individually using traditional fine art techniques; in turn, subtle details, texture, and expression are allowed to develop naturally throughout the painting process.
I carefully craft each portrait by hand to capture your pet’s personality and presence with honesty and sensitivity. Throughout the process, I use high-quality, archival materials, ensuring the finished artwork remains timeless and can be enjoyed for generations.
