Custom Pet Portraits

I specialize in vibrant mixed-media “Paw-traits” of animals.

All that is needed to get started on your custom artwork is at a good photograph(s) (digital or printed) that clearly show(s) your pets features. (You can find more info on what type of photos I am looking for below under "photographs.")
Submit your order through my contact section or via e-mail to: petportraitsbyjen@gmail.com and your photo(s) through email or postal service.
A 50% deposit is required via PayPal, cash or check to get started. I will contact you via email after you submit your order. (Deposit becomes non-refundable once I have begun work on your portrait.)
I happily provide "progress" photos along the way via e-mail.
Once you are 100% satisfied with your portrait and the balance is paid in full, it can be picked up (in the Sacramento area) or shipped tracked an insured to you (additional cost)!

Caring for your Art

If possible, keep your painting out of direct sunlight, Paints with red pigment have the potential to fade and be bleached by the sun. If framing, I recommend glass with UV protection.
Paintings on Paper: be careful not to bend or scratch. I recommend framing with UV glass and having the back of the frame sealed to protect from dust.
Paintings on Canvas: Watch the corners of your painting. These areas are the most susceptible to damage. If the painting collects dust, use a soft-bristled brush on the surface. Other brushes may leave behind particles or scratch the surface.
Feel free to contact me anytime in the future with any questions regarding your artwork!
