Losing a beloved pet is one of life’s hardest experiences, and finding a meaningful way to honour their memory can bring great comfort. My hand-painted memorial pet portraits with ashes are created to celebrate the special bond you shared, transforming your special memories into a piece of art you can treasure forever.
A lasting tribute to your beloved pet
Each bespoke pet memorial painting is individually created using high-quality acrylic paints on premium cotton stretched canvas. A small portion of your pet’s cremation ashes are carefully blended into the artwork, creating a deeply personal memorial portrait filled with meaning, texture and love.
Whether you are looking for a dog memorial portrait with ashes, a cat memorial painting, or remembrance artwork for another cherished companion, every piece is created with sensitivity, care and attention to detail.
You can see examples of how this looks here.
Creating bespoke pet portraits with ashes – what I need from you
To create your custom pet memorial portrait, I will need a high-quality photograph (or multiple photographs) and around half a cup of ashes. Clear reference photos allow me to capture your pet’s expression, colouring and personality as accurately as possible.
Any ashes not incorporated into the artwork will be respectfully returned to you.
Choosing your canvas and composition
You can choose the size of your canvas and decide whether you’d prefer a deep-edge canvas, which can be hung immediately, or a standard-depth canvas, which is ideal for framing.
You can view examples of canvas styles and some of my previous pet portraits here.
Once we have discussed your ideas, I will suggest a composition for your memorial artwork before beginning the painting process. My aim is always to create a beautiful and heartfelt tribute that truly reflects your beloved pet.
When your portrait is complete, I will send you photographs for approval before applying two protective coats of matt varnish to preserve the artwork for years to come.
