Why Choose a Custom Pet & Parent Portrait?
- Personalized & Unique – Hand-painted from your photo, every portrait is custom-made to capture the unique bond you share with your pet.
- Timeless Artwork – Created using traditional watercolor techniques, your portrait will reflect the love and joy between you and your pet.
- Perfect Gift for Pet Lovers – An ideal gift for dog lovers, cat lovers, and all pet parents, whether it’s for a birthday, special occasion, or just as a meaningful gesture to celebrate your bond.
- Premium Materials – Crafted on high-quality 100% cotton watercolor paper using professional, lightfast watercolor paints for a long-lasting, vibrant finish.
Select 'Artwork only' if you would like to receive just the artwork itself and take care of matting / framing yourself.
Please note, I usually leave a trim of white paper of up to 0.5 in around the painting to make it easier to mount it to the mat. But if you'd like me to cut it off before sending, please request it before the order is shipped. Alternatively, you can cut it off to the desired size with regular scissors.Ordering Matted Artwork
Select 'Single / Double mat - no frame' option, and I will include:
- a Crescent Select 4-Ply Mat. This mat board is crafted from superior 4-ply alpha-cellulose, ensuring robust protection and lasting beauty for your art. Completely acid-free and lignin-free, it guards against yellowing and deterioration, preserving your work for years to come. Mat sizes:

This way it will be fully ready for you to put it in your own frame.
