Can I wear my Little Pet Portrait in the water?

Please don’t! Little Pet Portraits are hand-painted miniatures and, like most painted works of art, they can be damaged by moisture. Do not wear in water, steam rooms, showers, baths, or any environment with extreme moisture.

How are the miniature paintings created?

We start with a pencil sketch of your pet based on the photographs you’ll send us at the beginning of the process and send it for your approval.

Once the sketch is approved, we then paint the portrait with watercolor and gouache on vegan vellum. You will receive a digital image of the painting for your approval prior to setting.

Does Little Pet Portraits support animal welfare organizations?

Yes! A portion of the sale of every Little Pet Portrait supports our local no-kill shelter in Hudson, NY or the animal welfare organization of your choosing.
