NZ Original Painted Pet Portraits
Beautifully hand Painted Pet Portraits by a local kiwi artist.
Whether you're celebrating the joy they bring every day or honouring the memory of a pet who meant the world to you, each portrait is painted thoughtfully to preserve the little details that make them them.
All portraits are painted by hand using professional acrylic paints, and mounted on hard-backed mats ready to be framed however you would prefer!
Painted Pets,

My name is Kaela, and I paint pets!
Painted Pets started as a passion project, painting the furry little friends in my family. Since then, the project has blossomed into my happy little business and has come with the added bonus of getting to meet furry friends all over NZ and beyond!

Perfect Percy was my heart dog
“Kaela did a beautiful painting of my lovely dog, Percy, this year. Perfect Percy was my heart dog and Kaela captured his essence beautifully. Thank you, Kaela, for the very lovely memory your painting has given me."
Karen
We are so so grateful
"I got a painting of our two dogs commissioned for my husbands birthday. The painting has absolutely blown me away and it is better than I could even have imagined.
Kaela was amazing to deal with throughout the process. Updates were sent and all my questions answered with amazing customer service. Thank you so much for our beautiful artwork, we are so so grateful."

Kaela is such a talent!!
“Kaela is such a talent!! From our first chat, and throughout the whole process to its arrival was amazing. Our picture of our dear Winston was so detailed. It captured him perfectly. An absolute piece of art that will forever be treasured. Thank you so much"
Austin
I absolutely love it!
"I've just received the finished version of my beloved Mosi I lost last year. Thank you so much - it captures her perfectly - I absolutely love it. "

Kaela is incredible.
"Kaela is incredible. The illustrations of my in-laws doggies were just perfect.
Kaela's communication was great throughout the process and the artwork was delivered to such a high standard. I would recommend Kaela and Painted Pets Illustrations to anyone wanting a high quality painting of their pet."
Becca
Money very well spent.
"I reached out to Kaela at painted pets after literally years of searching for the perfect person to put Moose on paper and I can’t rate her highly enough! Kaela was more than a delight to deal with and she really is talented. She has captured moosey personality perfectly. It looks exactly like the reference photo and we even had Kaela add moose’s name tag because he wasn’t wearing it in the reference photo and unreal. Money very well spent."
