 FAQs

  • Yes! I can paint up to three pets in a single portrait. To ensure each pet has enough space for fine details and expressive features, size options are limited. If you're interested in a multi-pet portrait, feel free to reach out, and I can help you choose the best size for your artwork!

  • Each wildlife and animal print starts as a hand-painted watercolor created by me. The artwork is then professionally scanned and digitized to ensure the highest-quality print. To maintain the best detail and color accuracy, prints are only offered in select sizes that suit each piece.

    Each fine art print is printed in my studio on Red River Paper’s Aurora Art Natural — a 300gsm, 18mil thick, museum-quality cotton paper with a beautifully soft, matte surface — to ensure rich color, crisp detail, and a handcrafted touch you can see and feel. Every print is carefully inspected by me to ensure quality before being packaged in a clear protective sleeve with a sturdy cardboard backing and shipped in a rigid mailer to keep it safe on its way to you.

  • Yes! My beginner watercolor series includes a final project of painting a simple pet portrait, making it a great starting point. After that, I’ll be offering pet portrait-specific lessons, covering key features like fur, eyes, and noses, along with full pet portrait tutorials. Stay tuned as I continue developing this course!

  • Yes, I’m happy to consider all custom orders, whether it’s for pet portraits, wildlife and animal originals and prints, or greeting cards. Simply scroll to the bottom of the homepage and click on "Contact" to get in touch, and we can discuss your specific request!

  • I accept returns only for damaged or defective pet portraits, greeting cards, and framed prints. Digital products are non-refundable. For full details, please see my Return Policy in the About section.
