Im happy to help you choose the size that will best suit your space and your animal.

More Than One Pet?

Some of my most meaningful portraits feature more than one beloved companion together. Because each pet is rendered with the same full detail and care, multiple-pet portraits begin at 12x16  giving everyone room to truly shine. Each additional pet is +$300 CAD. For three or more animals, Ill quote your portrait individually so the composition gets the attention it deserves.🤍

Add-Ons & Options 

High-resolution digital file  $85

A high-resolution file for your personal keeping  lovely for cards and sharing with family. For fine-art prints, Id love to produce those for you so the colour stays true to the original.

Once your portrait is complete, a small collection of made-to-order keepsakes — throw blankets, notebooks, mugs, and more — are available, built from your finished piece. Never any pressure.

Rush timeline  +25% 

For when a tight deadline applies  this keeps your portrait near the front of my queue.

Payment & Deposits

To book your commission, I ask for a 30% non-refundable deposit, which reserves your place in my schedule. The remaining balance is due once your portrait is complete, before it ships or is collected. If your plans change, your deposit can be applied to a future commission.

Prefer to spread the cost? Im happy to arrange a payment plan  just mention it in your inquiry and well find something that works for you. Your portrait is finished and delivered once the balance is paid in full.

Payment is accepted through e-transfer or PayPal.

Kind Words

Only a month after commissioning Rileys portrait, our pup of 10 years went over the rainbow bridge  so this portrait meant more than anything to us. Jasmine totally captured his beautiful personality. Its a piece we will always cherish.
— Lynn T.

She looks so real  as if I could reach out and touch her again.
The tears are flowing, but happy tears. Thank you for taking our project and making it more than we could have imagined.
 Michelle P. 

I couldnt have been more pleased with the final result. It looks even better in person (if thats possible), and will soon find a cherished spot on the wall for all to see!
