Sizes & Starting Prices

Pricing for a single subject — starting from

8” x 8” — $550 CAD

A single pet, close and intimate — sweet on a shelf, desk, or part of a gallery wall. 

All portraits are created in soft pastel and will need to be framed behind glass with matting to protect and preserve the artwork. Keep in mind that framing will add to the overall finished dimensions and is arranged separately.

8” x 10” — $600 CAD

A classic single-pet portrait with a little more breathing room. Versatile and timeless.

11” x 14” — $750 CAD

· Most loved · 

My most-requested size — beautifully balanced detail and presence for a single pet.

12” x 16” — $950 CAD

A real statement piece, with room for richer detail or a more developed background.

16” x 20” — $1,200 CAD

Gallery-scale presence. Lovely for fuller compositions or two pets together.

18” x 24” — $1,500 CAD

My largest standard size — a true heirloom centrepiece, well suited to multiple pets.

Not sure yet? — Let’s talk!

I’m 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 12”x16” — giving everyone room to truly shine. Each additional pet is +$300 CAD. For three or more animals, I’ll 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, I’d 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.

Shipping & packaging — at cost

Carefully packaged & fully insured, calculated by size and destination. International collectors can also opt for digital delivery.

Every Commission Includes

The care that goes into each piece, as standard

Progress Preview

At least one mid-process photo so you can see your portrait taking shape — often more.

Certificate of Authenticity

A signed certificate confirming your one-of-a-kind original pastel artwork.

Archival Materials

Professional-grade pastels and papers chosen to last for generations to come.

Shipped With Care

Thoughtfully packaged and fully insured, or arrange a local pickup or drop-off.

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? I’m happy to arrange a payment plan — just mention it in your inquiry and we’ll 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 Riley’s 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. It’s 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 couldn’t have been more pleased with the final result. It looks even better in person (if that’s possible), and will soon find a cherished spot on the wall for all to see!”
 — Angela D.
