PET PORTRAITS

BY CANADIAN ARTIST PETER MOXON

Custom Pet Portraits

Celebrating the lives of our four-legged family members

I create personal, one-of-kind pet portraits in graphite from your photos by hand in my studio in the cosy town of Uxbridge, Ontaro. Each unique animal portrait is crafted with devotion and attention to detail. A custom portrait of a pet is a wonderful way to cherish our beloved as well as a true memorial of pets who have passed on.

Graphite is a medium that captures exquisite detail, really bringing out the personality and character of your loving companion. More than a simple photograph, your graphite pet portrait will be a cherished original work of art commemorating your furry or feathered friend.

In my pet portraits, I express my joy in both the love of art and my love of animals by capturing a very special essence, unique to each animal. Our pets give us unconditional love and I am proud to have found a way to honor and commemorate them in return. The bond between us and our pets truly inspires me.

Our pets are more than just playmates. They are allies, confidants, best friends and kindred spirits. They are family. You can trust that I understand the connection between us and our pets, and I strive to capture that connection in every single commissioned pet portrait.

Pet portraits make a unique gift idea for pet lovers or a special pet loss memorial. If photographs of the gift recipient's pet are not available to you, then pet portrait gift certificates can also be purchased. All portraits are 100% original works of art, and can be shipped worldwide.

Portraits measure 8" x 10" and are handmade on Arches 140lb Hot Press archival quality paper to last a lifetime. This paper is crafted in France from 100% cotton fiber content, and is acid-free, pH-neutral, gelatin-sized, and air-dried. This same paper has been made in France for over 300 years, and it is so durable that it will remain beautiful and vibrant for centuries without conservation if stored and handled properly.
