How to Order

I currently work from a waitlist for custom orders. To reserve your spot in line email the picture you want painted along with the size to: [email protected]

I will respond to your email and let you know you have been added to the list.

Once I get to your name, I will send you a sketch with a link to purchase your painting.
After you purchase I will start painting and send you a final image to approve.

I am happy to make adjustments until you are completely satisfied, but keep in mind too many changes may be subject to an additional
fee.

When you are completely satisfied with your painting I will ship it.

Check out my Picture Tips
page to make sure you send the right photo.

For sizing and pricing see my Pricing page.

We'd love to hear from you!

Photo Guidelines

CLEAR & CLOSE UP: It’s important to see the details for a realistic painting.

Get face to face with your pet. Avoid blurry and far away photos.

GOOD LIGHTING: Good lighting will help to see the details, capture dimensions and accurate color. Avoid blown out or very dark photos.

LOOKING STRAIGHT ON OR 3/4 AT THE CAMERA: The pet’s face is the focal point. Avoid photos where the pet is looking sideways or down.

Home Photos should be well lit and without obstructions.

Once you place your order, please email photos of your pet send several or home

This ensures your beautiful artwork is preserved and displayed in the best possible way!
