4/16/24 I am now selling high quality gilcee prints of my original artwork. First editions of 250 prints will be up for sale soon.

My turn around time from purchase to ship date is running around 4 weeks for a custom pet portrait. This means that if you purchase a custom portrait today I will begin your portrait in roughly 2.5 weeks as I am currently working on a commission that will be completed by then. Thanks for visiting my website and I hope you choose me as the artist to capture your best friend’s characteristics and personality in a stunning piece of original hand drawn and painted artwork.

I hope that within these images the spark arises to purchase a custom portrait of your beloved and cherished companion. I know there are a lot of artist’s to choose from when it comes to pet portraits. I like to involve my clients in my working process and send progress pictures along the way. If you want to be involved in the process and have fun time interacting while it is underway, then you have found the right person.

I am a classically trained artist. I went to the Art Academy of Cincinnati from 1990-1994. Since then I have been creating works of art sold to private commissions and represented across the United States through fine art galleries.

I am an equestrian, kayaker, and gardener. In 2001 I started volunteering for animal rescue organizations and continue to support nonprofit organizations. I am an advocate for animal welfare giving a voice to those who can not speak. As a certified equine and canine massage therapist and caretaker of horses and domestic pets, I incorporate both my passions; art and animals. I can’t wait to work with you and emulate the spirit of your loved one into your very own custom work of art.

“I want to thank Laura for the portrait of my beloved pet Jasper.  It captures his personality and the exact way he used to look at me.  I look at it so often it feels like he is here with me.” Karen Bradley ~ Napa,CA

“All of Laura’s artwork is truly incredible and a joy to look at. Of course my favorite piece is the one she did of my horse, capturing just how fuzzy my little mammoth is, as well as her eye and personality. Having something like this to cherish while we are no longer together brings tears to my eyes. Thank you Laura!”~Haylee Clay

Laura is incredibly gifted and I had the joy of seeing her talents as she created a portrait of my ferrets. Overall it was a positive experience and I’d have no hesitation working with her again. She always remained in contact, providing updates on the process, and she was easy to speak with throughout. I now have something to remember my ferrets by always and for that I will always be grateful for her work! ~ Sarah Johnson
