I am currently taking commissions for custom fine art animal portraits!
I have a passion for painting animals and I believe that my training as a veterinarian helps me capture the essence of each animal I paint. Every animal is special and I strive to bring out their personality with each portrait. It is even more meaningful when I am able to paint a memorial portrait of a pet or animal that is no longer with us.
All of my portrait paintings are watercolors on thick watercolor paper with a white background. I like to get a lot of photos including the one you would like to have painted so that I can get a feel for the personality of your animals and check for anything I can't see well in the reference photos. I'm also happy to give my opinion on which photo I think would make the best portrait if you are unsure which one to choose. And the higher quality/resolution the reference photo the better so I can see as many details as possible!
After we choose the photos for your portrait or portraits, I create a line drawing of the painting for you to approve or make changes to, because it is extremely difficult to make changes once I start painting. The paintings usually take about 6-8 weeks.
Prices start at $250 for 5x7 portraits and increase based on size, position, and number of animals.
Please contact me for a custom quote for your painting!
*If you commission a custom portrait, I can also create prints of your painting.
