Pet Portraits
I would love to work with you to create a memorable piece of art of your pal, whether of the cat or dog persuasion, small furry friends or any number of other animals that you call family.
I have listed the general pricing below. All pricing is in Canadian dollars.
This price is for head shot portraits only. If you are looking for a more complicated piece of art that includes a second animal or a complex background please contact me to discuss the added cost and my ability to complete the art work.
I require a good quality clear reference photo of your pet in order to capture their likeness on the canvas. The photos you provide me are the only guide I will have. Please see reference photo tips below.
8 x 10 - $250 (CDN)
9 x 12 - $300 (CDN)
11 x 14 - $450 (CDN)
Shipping and handling: Canada 20$-50$ (CDN)

Where to start... The nitty gritty
1) To set up a commission please use the “Email Me” button above to send me an email with your details, size of art requested and some good quality photos. I will provide you with a timeframe for me to complete the work, composition suggestions and some feedback on the photos you have sent.
2) Tips for a good reference photo:
Take the photo outside if possible or in a room with good natural light.
Take the photo at your pets level. “Front on” photos will provide a much clearer view of the animals face and eyes.
Take lots of photos and pick the best one. It should be nice and clear when you zoom in. If you are unsure of the quality don’t hesitate to send me a copy to review.
If this is a “Memorial” piece of art, please email me a few good quality photos that you have in your possession. From there we can discuss the best photo options.
Special note about social media photos: Please note that photos downloaded from social media and texting platforms often lose details in the process. Please send the original photo if you have it. I need to zoom in and get all of their lovely details.
3) Agreement and deposit: Once we have agreed upon the size of the piece, timeline, composition, the commission fee and shipping costs I will require a non refundable deposit of 20% of the cost of the art work.
4) Payments: I accept payments through E-transfers, checks, PayPal or that funny paper stuff called cash.
5) Final Delivery: I will send you up dates at your request. Once the portrait is complete I will send you a photographed image for your review. Once payment is received I will then ship the artwork to you or you can pick it up.
