Pet portraits
for pet people.
That familiar look. That unmistakable personality. Your very own dog, captured in oils.
Every dog has a story.
Some are quiet souls. Some bring the party. Each portrait begins with what makes your dog yours.
A dog person.
An oil painter.
A good observer.
Hello, I'm Betsy.
I’m a dog portrait painter with a love of oils and the personalities on the other end of the leash. I trained at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts, and dogs have a way of finding their place in my work.
A tilt of the head, a well-loved tennis ball, that look only you know. Those are the things that make a portrait personal.

Tell me about your dog.
Start with a little about your companion and the portrait you have in mind. A single dog or a whole pack—let’s talk.
Find that familiar look.
While I work from photographs, I’m available for photo sessions if you’re local. It’s always a plus to meet you and your dog or dogs. The $100 session fee can be applied toward your commissioned portrait.
Something entirely personal.
Once the photographs for the portrait have been chosen, I’ll work with you to determine the size of the canvas.
From start to finish, a portrait takes about six weeks, depending on the size, composition, and my waitlist. A 25% deposit is required to begin the painting.
Gift certificates are also available. Get in touch to learn more.
