Pet Commission Inquiries

Email info@sarahchapmanart.com to inquire about current availability and pricing. All commissions require a 50% non-refundable deposit and signed contract before any design work begins.

Finally, a chance to own a mini animal portrait of your own pet or favorite animal! The world is your oyster here. Dogs, cats, goldfish, lizards, raccoons, horses, birds, anything! Check out the images for some examples. This is a great way to honor a beloved companion or surprise someone with a truly one-of-a-kind gift!

The process is:

1. You purchase one non-refundable 50% deposit per animal 
2. You sign and return the commissions contract
3. I design your piece! We will work together to choose the best reference photos and background color. Don’t stress about this, I will do the heavy lifting, and we will make sure we find something that will look good as a painting! Most people send at least 20-50 images, and videos are also welcome (design usually takes 1-2 weeks)
4. I will paint your pet in oil paint with a single color background, in a style similar to what you see in the sample images (painting usually takes 4-8 weeks)
5. I will email you with an image of your final painting and invoice you for the remaining 50%
6. I will ship the completed piece to you as soon as it is dry enough to travel! (drying usually takes about 2 weeks)

Unframed paintings will be painted on gallery wrapped canvas and will arrive wired and ready to hang. Framed paintings will be painted on board or canvas (artist’s choice), and will come in a contemporary black float frame.

FAQs:

Is financing available?

Yes! Everyone pays 50% to reserve a spot and 50% at completion. If you want to break this into more payments, we have partnered with ShopPay to give you that option at checkout.

Will I annoy you by sending too many photos of my pet?

No, please send lots! Please note that due to overwhelming demand, we are only able to help you go through these photos after receiving your deposit and contract.

Is shipping free?

Yes! All commissions ship free to the continental U.S. If you are located elsewhere, please contact us for a shipping quote.
