FAQs

  • Yes, I work exclusively from photographs you send me, not in person. The better the reference photo, the more closely the drawing will match your pet, but a high quality reference photo is not necessary. Reach out to me for help finding the right photo(s).

  • No, I can only include one animal in each mini portrait. You are welcome to order several minis or a larger custom piece to accommodate more than one pet.

  • Waitlist times vary (by up to 4 months) so reach out to me if you are wanting your commission by a certain date or occasion. I try to accommodate when possible, but getting on the waitlist asap is recommended.

  • Yes, mini portraits will include a frame.

  • I specialize in animals and landscapes, so I do not offer portraits of people at this time. I can refer you to some other fantastic artists that specialized in human portraits.

  • Absolutely! If you'd like to remove a collar or include a favorite toy, I can accommodate your request. Be sure to inform me of this before I begin your portrait, since significant changes will not be possible after the fact. Please provide additional reference photos to illustrate any changes, and I can create a mock-up for approval. Significant additions may incur an extra fee.

  • All backgrounds will be a simple single color. To add a more intricate background, please order a larger custom portrait (extra charges may apply so reach out to me about it).
