Commisioning a Portrait
-
Contact me through this website or by email and tell me how many pets you'd like in a portrait.
-
Attaching reference photos is very helpful.
-
I'll contact you by email or text to find out what size portrait you would like, if you need it by a certain date, and for any special requests you may have.
-
I will send you an invoice for a 50% deposit which you can pay online with PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App.
-
I'll tell you what the expected timeline looks like for finishing your portrait. I typically have a few commissions in line. I aim for a 5–6-week finish time, when possible.
-
I'll let you know when I start your portrait, and I'll send you update photos of the work I am doing for you.
-
When your portrait is finished, I will send you an invoice for the balance, which can include mailing costs.
-
I will mail your carefully packaged portrait to you, or meet you nearby, if you're located locally.
-
You now have an original portrait!

I WORK FROM PHOTOS – Good, clear photos are a requirement. Several photos of each subject are really helpful for capturing each subject's likeness, life, and light.
SUBJECT INFORMATION - It is super helpful to have a description about each subject I draw. What is their personality? Who are they? What are their interests? Your answers help me to bring their likeness to life!
ART MEDIA - Most portraits will have a combination of colored pencil, pastels, ink, and sometimes gouache, watercolor or acrylic paint. I use high-quality art paper. I'll use media that best brings to life the subject of each portrait.
PAYMENT INFORMATION – In order to book a commission, I require 50% down on the fee before I begin my work. The remainder is due upon completion of the commission.
I accept ZELLE, PAYPAL, CASH APP, VENMO, or CASH.
PORTRAIT ARTWORK IS CUSTOM MADE AND NON-REFUNDABLE. Returns, exchanges or cancellations are not allowed.
