Capture your pet's unique personality with a lifelike painting from your photo.

Colorful, Whimsical, Hand Painted Oil Portraits of Your Dog, Cat, Horse or Other Pet
with Dramatic, Customized Backgrounds

In my work as a pet portrait artist, I seek to capture in oils the significance that your beloved pet holds for you. I collaborate with you to incorporate meaningful motifs into the canvas, so the painting that emerges speaks to your heart and matches your tastes. My goal always is to create a personal and unique portrait of your pet, something truly beautiful that has lasting value not just as a likeness of your dog—although a perfect likeness is my guarantee—but also as a work of art.

Here are just a few examples of how I customize my paintings to reflect your pet's personality and your tastes:
