How to place a pet portrait order
This page will guide you through the process of ordering a custom pet portrait
These portraits are created in a realistic style, designed to capture the true essence of your pet. With careful attention to fur texture, subtle color shifts, and soulful expression, they offer a timeless and sophisticated representation that feels as lifelike as a cherished memory.
These portraits are highly realistic, capturing your pet’s likeness in elegant black and white. With rich contrast, delicate shading, and expressive detail, they offer a timeless, classic feel; ideal for anyone who appreciates simplicity in beauty and depth in monochrome.
These paintings are primarily done in watercolor with a touch of gouache. They offer a stylised and uplifting portrayal of your pet, infused with bright, cheerful colors and a fun, expressive flair.

What clients are saying about my pet portraits
EXCELLENT Based on 69 reviews Posted on Rachel MettlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Deezle passed away from CKD in November. When Abir said she was excited about starting his portrait, it reassured me that he was in good hands. The artwork looks exactly like him. You can almost believe he’s just resting and might get up and walk right out of the portrait. My family and I love how the artwork looks. I also purchased one of Abir’s bird paintings. It’s neatly done and looks really nice on the wall, and I would definitely consider purchasing another painting in the future. It was very easy to find Abir’s previous work and contact her. Her pricing is clearly listed on her website, and she fully discloses any additional costs before beginning. There were no surprises at the end.Posted on Andre B.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing artist with so much talent. Abir was easy to communicate with and kept her client up to date on the progress of the artwork. she listened to suggestions brought forward based on client requests, and made suggestions of her own to make sure that the finished piece brought out the absolute best in the subject being portrayed.Posted on Celia ZTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Abir is friendly, yet very professional. She took the time to work with me, making sure she had the right vision from the start. She nailed it! I couldn't be more happy with the pastel piece she created of our dog. Her attention to detail, how the piece feels 3Dish and I feel like I want to actually touch our dog just to feel her fur. Amazing! This girl is so talented!!Posted on Dani GiornofeliceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This portrait is more than artwork—it’s pure emotion on canvas. From the very first moment we saw it, our hearts melted. Every detail feels intentional, as if Abir truly knew our dog and captured not just their likeness, but their soul. The expression, the warmth, the personality—it all came through so beautifully. It brought back memories, smiles, and even a few happy tears. This piece will be cherished forever, and we’re endlessly grateful for the care, talent, and love that went into creating something so meaningful. Truly priceless. Daniella & family xoPosted on Saileela MalladiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter enjoyed the classes. Abir is an amazing teacher and she taught very good art techniques which improved her skills. She makes the class very interesting for kids too. I highly recommend her.Posted on Bette SimonettoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It is stunning, you really captured Cali's beautiful little face, her eyes, I would recognise her anywhere, right down to the two little black dots in the corners suggesting she has mascara on! The light tan of her fur on and beside her nose is perfect; her very long whiskers are exact. The top of her head, where we were always scratching, getting the purr, is so real. I absolutely love it! I would recommend you to anyone who would like to capture their pets' images. My daughter will love it, in fact, when she opens it on Christmas, I can guarantee you that she will cry with tears of happiness! My husband and I truly thank you for creating such an awesome gift.Posted on Jane FowlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Abir who completed a beautiful portrait of our dog Ollie. Her talent is remarkable, her attention to detail was amazing and her communication was quick and precise. We would highly recommend Abir if you are considering getting a special pet portrait done.Posted on Chad DuerksenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Abir about doing art for the cover of my upcoming novel, which also happened to be a cat portrait. Not only was she gracious and easy to work with, the final piece had such texture and realism that it was better than my concept art. I look forward to using her again for the sequels!Posted on R MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Abir poured so much love into her art, and the final piece far exceeded our expectations. We were absolutely thrilled with how beautifully the artwork turned out. From the very first consultation to the delivery, the entire process was seamless. Abir ensured we were part of every detail—offering recommendations, asking for our input, and keeping us updated throughout. Her dedication and passion for her craft truly shine through. Now, our Cookie has a portrait worthy of a queen. Thank you, Abir! I sincerely hope more fur parents discover your work—our fur babies deserve nothing but the best.
