To commission a custom animal portrait, please use the contact page or email me at [email protected] and I will send you a pricing guide. Commissions are done as a traditional oil portrait, pastel or charcoal painting. I will work with your past photos or will be happy to offer advice on taking the best photo reference. Once the photo is decided upon and the work has begun I will send progress shots. The time frame for completion depends on the complexity of the project.
As a pet owner myself, I understand completely the deep bond we build with our beloved pets. I am humbled that something I create will keep our pets close to us and become a beautiful reminder of the pure love we have for each other.
Testimonials
"Michele’s talent and ability to capture the essence of our pup Duncan is remarkable. We could not be happier with the work of art she created for us. She is a true master of her craft and her work is absolutely stunning and priceless. She was wonderful at communicating throughout the process to make sure the final product was to our liking. We will definitely be reaching out again for more commissioned pieces in the future! " - Aubrey Johnson
"Michele has captured the image, and more importantly, the spirt of my Dot in this painting. I feel Dot's soul staring back at me. She could be conveying her love or asking me to throw the frisbee!" - Terry Hanson
"I give five stars to Michele, she has the ability to take what you feel in your heart for your pet and breathe life onto the canvas with paint. Truly the best." - Jean Fortune Slutzky
"Michele created a charcoal of my little Chihuahua, Rambo, that is as alive as he is. The portrait captures his feisty personality, his sweet soul and his manipulative intelligence. Looking at it always makes me smile." - Kathryn Rossetter, Actress/Teacher
"My Yorkie, Exaclibur, was battling arthritis, so I decided to have his portrait done by Michele. Excaliber has since passed on but his portrait hangs in my home. Due to the exceptional level of Michele's talent, she was able to capture his feisty essence. His portrait is a great comfort to me when I miss his presence. Michele worked out a payment plan, so that I was able to take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity. I am forever grateful to Michele for her special spirit, her talent and her humanity." - Christina Gaudet
