We love our animals, and painting your pet is one of my favourite things to do. It's a beautiful keepsake that lasts a lifetime.

I usually work with oil paint on canvas paper, which makes framing super easy. But if you’d prefer a Gotrick wood panel, I’m happy to paint on that too!

*10% of all pet portrait commissions is donated to the Winnipeg Humane Society to help animals in need.

Custom commissions -

Fill out the submission form with any relevant info, such as:

  • In an ideal world, I would come and meet your pet and take photos of them for the portrait. In instances where this isn’t possible, please include your reference photo(s)

Once we have the details figured out, I’ll get back to you with a quote and timeline based on the size and complexity of the piece.

Most commissions take 3-4 weeks to complete.
