In 2024, I had the pleasure of creating a series of commissioned digital pet portraits for clients across Canada and the United States. It was truly rewarding to work with such wonderful clients, crafting heartfelt portraits to celebrate birthdays and weddings, commemorate beloved pets who had passed, and add a personal touch to café decor. At this time, I have closed digital portrait commissions to focus on developing my personal work in traditional media.

  • Beauty

    This one pet half body portrait was commissioned as a birthday gift by lovely Taylor as a birthday gift for her best friend who happens to share the same birthday as me!

  • Framed artwork of two cats stacked, with one wearing a bow tie; placed on a white surface next to a beige vase with dried grasses.

    Tuxedo and Calico

    June commissioned this portrait of her daughter’s cats when her daughter was in Vancouver for a visit. I worked with her to get this perfect and in time to be gifted. These two cuties are now in Saskachewan.

  • Framed black and white illustration of two dogs, one small fluffy dog on top of a larger dog, on a white wall. Nearby is a candle and white cloth.

    Petey and Saki

    Elle commissioned this portrait of Petey and the late Saki while she was dog sitting Petey. Petey’s tail was partially blocked so I asked for an extra reference photos to get it perfect!

  • Framed watercolor painting of a Schnauzer dog on a wall.

Client Testimonials

  • She got all the little nuances of Petey the Pitbull from his unsymmetrical eyes to all the spots behind the nails and in the ear. The person I gift this to was super touched and loved the attention to detail too. Quality is amazing and delivery was surprisingly quick.
