for lost pets
Pet memorial paintings are a wonderful way to bring your pet’s smile home again.
I create custom pet memorials using traditional oil-on-canvas techniques, and can also add pet’s ashes directly into the paint. For some, this is a way to make a visual memorial for a pet more personal and physical.
PROCESS
Pet memorial paintings
& pet memorials with ashes
I create all my pet memorial paintings by hand, both with and without ashes in the paint. Mixing ashes into a pet memorial portrait increases the drying time of the oils, so these pieces take longer to create. For example, a pet memorial without ashes usually takes about three weeks, while including ashes may take five.

Pet Memorials & Portrait Paintings
My journey creating pet memorials began in Vancouver, BC, where I worked with local pet owners who wanted to capture their best friend in on canvas. Since moving to Vancouver Island, I’ve worked with more pet parents in Nanaimo and Victoria, and have expanded my online presence to reach others. My pet memorial paintings brighten the walls of pet-loving homes across Canada and the US—in California, New York, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Florida, Mississippi and others.
Painting memorials of pets from photos has allowed me to make a career of my two favourite things in the world: art and animals. Dogs, cats, rabbits and horses, I paint them all.
