Commissions
Thank you for your interest in an animal portrait commission.
Please contact me using the inquiry form below.
Reference Photos for Pet Portraits
I work from reference photos and will kindly request that you supply multiple photos (at least 4). Here are a few tips when choosing photos:
Photos need to be clear and in focus - this allows me to see the details
Photos taken at eye level are best as they avoid distortion
Natural light is preferred — aim for your pet to be lit from the front with the light falling on your pet’s face.
I may request additional photos to help me capture the best likeness.
Pricing
Small ~8”x10” (frames to 11”x14”): $325

Larger sizes are available upon request; contact me for pricing.
Artwork is provided unframed; if you would like it framed, contact me for pricing.
Shipping is additional charge.
What to Expect
Turnaround Time
I currently balance my art commissions with a full-time day job, so I appreciate your patience with turnaround time.
Each piece is carefully done by hand, and completion time may be several weeks to a few months, depending on my queue.
Artistic Choices
My portraits are created in pastel with a focus on realism and character.
I may use my judgment on whether or not to include a background.
If I do include a background, it is usually plain or softly blended so the focus stays on your pet.
