Commissions for Pet Portraits

As my middle name suggests, it is the great "Joy" of my work to create custom pieces for clients. I love the process of honoring special things in a person's life, whether that be a pet or an original one-of-a-kind piece that has significant meaning to someone.

If you have a pet that you'd like to honor (living or passed), I would love to co-create a masterpiece with you. I acknowledge that pets become integral parts of a family and by drawing them I feel honored to capture their light forever on canvas. I work diligently to ensure the fur, smiles, spots and paws are as their family remembers.

You have the option to create the ideal portrait you'd like: I can create a portrait as small and desk-ready as 4x6" to a larger format 20x30" ideal for a living room wall. I specialize in acrylic paint and colored pencil but but happily work in markers, micropen, and mixed media as well.

I've carefully and graciously created hundreds of personalized commission pieces (paintings, drawings and other works of art) for people around the world for birthdays, weddings, gifts and home decor. I also love creating other types of art and am passionate and careful in each of my works, which are all original one-of-a-kind pieces. I have created business logos, greeting card designs, book illustrations, wedding invitations, and much more...so the sky is the limit. I am happy to work with my clients to ensure they're satisfied 100% before the work is considered complete and send progress pictures of the piece as I work to make edits as needed in real time.
