Custom Pet Portraits
Because they're not just pets. They're family.
Colorful, expressive portraits painted by hand.
I create one-of-a-kind pet portraits from your favorite photographs, capturing the features, expressions, and little quirks that make your animal unmistakably them—all interpreted through my own loose, layered painting style.
Every portrait is created individually on canvas using professional-quality Golden and Nova Color acrylic paints. I build each piece through layers of color, brushwork, texture, and expressive marks, allowing some of the imperfect evidence of the painting process to remain visible.
The goal isn't to reproduce a photograph exactly. It's to create a painting that captures what makes your animal look—and feel—like them.
Painted by hand. Full of personality.
PRICING
Each size includes one pet, painted by hand on canvas.
Multiple-pet portraits are quoted individually.
The Details
Each portrait is an original, one-of-a-kind acrylic painting on canvas, created from your photographs and painted by Sarah Labs.
Portraits arrive unframed and ready to display, with finished canvas sides and hanging wire installed. Shipping is calculated separately when needed.
A 50% deposit reserves your commission. The remaining balance is due when your portrait is complete.
How It Works
01 — Tell me about them.
Send me a few favorite photographs and tell me a little about your pet—their personality, quirks, favorite expression, and anything you especially love about them.
02 — I paint.
Once we've selected the size and reference images and your deposit is received, I'll create your portrait in my colorful, expressive style.
03 — Take them home.
When your painting is finished, I'll send you a photo for approval. Once the remaining balance is paid, your portrait will be ready for pickup or shipping.
I accept a limited number of custom portrait commissions at a time. Tell me a little about your pet and what you have in mind, and we'll take it from there.
