Happy Pet Owners

"I had the pleasure of commissioning Nicole to create a portrait of our beloved cat, Moose (Artemis), as a gift for my husband after her passing. Nicole requested a handful of good pictures to work from. Knowing that I wanted a fun and unique piece, I suggested the style of an old-fashioned WANTED poster from Western movies. The end result is truly amazing! I was absolutely astonished at how well Nicole captured the details and realism of Moose; the likeness is uncanny. The patterning and eyes were also replicated with impressive accuracy.

I highly recommend Nicole for any art commission. Her talent spans across various styles, but especially shines when it comes to pet portraits. Working with Nicole was a breeze as she asked plenty of clarifying questions to ensure she understood exactly what I was envisioning. She took my idea and brought it to life even better than I could have imagined. Throughout the process, she checked in to make sure she was on the right track, which allowed me to provide feedback and make adjustments.

I am absolutely in love with the final result and cannot express enough how grateful I am to have this beautiful piece of art on our wall, serving as a wonderful reminder of our dearly loved kitty, Moose."

"Oh my god! It's so beautiful, I love it! It's perfect! I can't wait to get it framed and hanging on my wall so I can see it everyday."

— Josslyn

Recipient says: "Perfectly captures my little gremlin's mischievous soul. Adorable as fuck. Can't wait to hang it in our joint apartment, so I can always gaze at Ellie, even when she is hiding in the bedroom and doesn't want company." I will add: "Nicole was a dream to work with! Responsive, delivered amazing work exactly on the timeline she said she was going to, and thoughtful about every nuance of how she communicates."

About the Artist

That's me and my dog, Freya! She's a Belgian Malinois mix and the sweetest dog on the planet.

I absolutely love painting animals, especially our furry loved ones. By the time I'm done painting them I feel like I know them personally.

Creating a pet portrait is an honor, one that I take very seriously. I put a lot of love and care into each piece because I know how important they are in our lives.

I can't wait to meet yours!
