About the Artwork
Commissioned portraits aim to capture more than a likeness; these pieces convey the essence and personality of your beloved pet.
Each piece is hand-drawn or painted with extraordinary attention to detail.
Custom drawings and pastel paintings typically take 15+ hours to complete, which is accounted for in commission pricing. It is a labor of love!
Prices as of October 2025. Subject to change.
