Custom Portraits of Your Pet

Your Animal Companion as Fine Art
by Bernadette Kazmarski

They may be prizewinners or bedraggled street survivors, but no matter—each is precious and fills our lives with joy. And our animal companions were meant to be shared; we can spend hours recounting memorable moments to fellow pet companions.

A portrait of your animal companion is different from a photograph; Bernadette creates a composite portrait from many photos and perhaps a meeting. In doing so, she can remove a background from a scene and add another, include toys or even group animals together in a way they’d never pose. More than a few of the portraits she has created have been memorials to pets who are gone but will never be forgotten. Many have also been portraits of a friend’s or family member’s pet given as a special personalized gift. And in the end, you have a piece of original artwork.

Your pet’s portrait need not be a face forward shot of a classic pose—a good portrait captures the attitude of its subject. It can be a picture of a typical event in your pet’s daily routine, or one of those singular moments you love to tell everyone about. The more interesting, the better it describes your best friend, and the more she enjoys creating it.
