Commission Portraits
Interested in a pet portrait? Let's chat! I work with high resolution digital photos and rely on clear visible details.
That being said, I require a selection of your very best images. We will work together to finalize the portrait size and style.

Pet Portrait
I specialize in graphite pencil. This is my preferred medium to work in. Depending on the photo I can possibly work in ink or watercolour (or a combo of). These portraits focus mainly on the animal’s face.

Scribble Custom Card + Envelope
This card idea came from a client that owns a dog walking business. I created custom portrait cards for each of her clients. What a gift! This scribble technique looks fluid and has lots of movement.

Minimalist Ink Portrait
This style is a bit more graphic yet minimal in nature. Lots of fun detail but at the same time ample of negative space around the animal. I have been using watercolour paper to draw on. It has nice texture to it.

Other Details
My preference is to work in pencil but can possibly work in ink or perhaps watercolour - depending on the image.
Currently I use synthetic paper, called Dura Lar, for all my pencil sketches. Due to the nature of this material, I can not finish the portrait with a fixative (prevents smudging) I strongly recommend framing graphite portraits with a mat to ensure it doesn’t accidentally smudge under the glass.
*All art is unframed. I am happy to offer my personal opinion on how big the window opening of the mat should be.
Shipping
This is an additional cost - ranging from $20-35 Canadian. If you live in Vancouver I am happy to personally deliver your portrait.
While I take great care in shipping your portrait, I do not take responsibility for how it arrives. If, something happens during transit, please send me photos and we can proceed from there.
For Longevity Purposes
Store portrait in clear sleeve until it’s time to frame • Keep all finished work dry • Place out of direct natural light • Do not directly touch the portrait (handle carefully on the sides)
