Pet Portrait from Start to Finish

Creating a Pet Portrait with Katy Crim

Capture the special bond with your pet through a custom portrait by Katy Crim. Katy creates one-of-a-kind pet portraits using watercolor or acrylic, completely from scratch. She doesn’t rely on digital techniques or paint over photos, ensuring a unique and personal piece every time.

Katy focuses on capturing your pet’s personality in each portrait. Whether they’re playful, curious, or calm, she highlights those little details that make them truly special, creating a piece that feels as though your pet is still with you.

You can choose between two sizes and two mediums for your portrait, making it easy to find the perfect fit for your home. Watercolor offers a soft, gentle look, while acrylic provides bold, vibrant colors—both options beautifully showcase your pet’s personality.
