CAT PORTRAITS
Custom cat portraits, painted by hand.
Cats are the hardest animals to get right, which is exactly why I love them.
An original painting of your cat, from your photo, with every whisker and every look intact.
The look only your cat gives.
The half-closed eyes, the regal disinterest, the soft chaos of a long coat. Cats have a personality that is almost impossible to fake, and I paint it by hand - the real one, the one you live with. One of one, made only for you.
In celebration, and in memory.
A milestone birthday, a new kitten, or a cat who ruled the house for twenty years. Many cat portraits are memorials, painted to keep a cat who has gone. I treat every one with care, and work gently with families who have lost their cat, even from a single old photo.
Start with a good photo.
A clear, sharp photo gives me the most to work with, especially around the eyes. Send the best image you have. Where the photo is low resolution, a small surcharge may apply.
Originals from $950
A4 from $950, A3 from $1,350, and A0 by application. Every portrait includes the full process and tracked delivery within New Zealand.
