Commission a Custom Pet Portrait
There’s something truly special about seeing your beloved pet captured in paint, not just how they look, but who they are.
I create hand-painted pet portraits in acrylic, carefully crafted from your favourite photograph and finished on a 10 x 12 inch canvas board. Each piece is painted with care, patience, and attention to the small details that make your pet unmistakably them, the tilt of the head, the softness in their eyes, the character you know and love.
Whether you’re celebrating a loyal companion, honouring a pet’s memory, or simply wanting a beautiful piece of art for your home, a commissioned portrait is a meaningful keepsake you’ll treasure for years.
A Thoughtful, Heartfelt Gift
A custom pet portrait also makes an incredibly touching gift.
Perfect for:
• Birthdays
• Christmas
• Anniversaries
• “Just because” surprises
• Or as a comforting remembrance piece
If you’re looking for a gift that feels truly personal, something your friend or loved one would never buy for themselves, a hand-painted portrait of their pet is always deeply appreciated and often emotional in the best way.

Before You Order
Each pet portrait is painted by hand with care and attention, so a little planning helps ensure the best possible result.
• Please make sure you have (or can obtain) a clear reference photo of your pet. Good lighting and visible facial details make a big difference.
• This commission is for one pet on a 10 x 12 inch canvas board, painted in acrylic.
• Because each piece is custom-made, commissions are non-refundable once painting has begun.
• Colours and small details may vary slightly from the photograph - this is part of the charm of original, hand- painted artwork.
• If you’re ordering as a gift, or for a special date, let me know at the time of ordering so I can plan accordingly.
• Memorial portraits are always painted with extra care and sensitivity. Please feel free to share anything you’d like me to know.
If you have any questions, special requests, or you’re commissioning this as a gift for someone else, please feel free to get in touch,I’m always happy to help.
A portrait isn’t just a picture. It’s a way of holding onto love.
