I paint pets out of my home studio on Vancouver Island and host the Shaw TV show “Painting Pets with Zann“. My pet portraits ship all across North America. So if you’d like to get a handmade oil painting of your pet, you’re in the right place!

Please note I am on maternity leave starting Fall 2023, so I may take more time than usual to respond.
Like good pizza, good art takes time. My standard pet portrait sizes can be complete and ready to ship within three weeks, but please note that oils take a few days to dry and even a rush order will require drying time.
So if you have a particular deadline in mind, feel free to reach out to see if I can work with you to make it happen!
First off, I can definitely put multiple pets in one portrait!
Furthermore, if you can find a photo with all the pets together to use as a primary reference, then there’s no extra charge. In other words, pricing is just based on size.
But if they’re all in different photos and need to be arranged into one piece then I charge a 10% composition fee. Furthermore, adjusting the lighting to make different photos look natural together can be a real challenge. So one photo is better if possible.
Custom pet portraits are priced by size. So for specifics check out the full list of available sizes on my pricing page.

Check out the painting blog so you can see inside the pet portrait process. To start off, there are a lot of videos and painting demos. Then, check out the reference and sizing guides. These posts are a great way to see before and after examples for when I paint a portrait of your pet from photos. Lastly, get in touch when you’re ready to order!
About Zann
Pet Portrait Artist & Oil Painter
My journey as a pet portrait artist first began in Vancouver, BC, where I worked with local pet owners who wanted to capture their best friend in on canvas in a realistic pet portrait style. Then since moving to Vancouver Island, I’ve worked with more pet parents in Nanaimo and Victoria, and have expanded my online presence. Now my animal portraits brighten the walls of pet-loving homes across Canada and the US—likewise in California, New York, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Florida, Mississippi and others.
