Best Custom Pet Portraits in Australia

The best custom pet portraits in Australia are hand-painted originals, commissioned directly from a working artist - not a print, and not an AI image. One artist, one consistent standard, delivered free to every capital city.

Search for the best custom pet portrait in Australia and you will find a crowded field of local print shops, marketplace listings and app-based AI tools in every city. Almost all of them produce the same thing: a reproduction of your photo. There is one category that stands apart - a genuine, hand-painted original, made by hand and unrepeatable - and it is available Australia-wide from a single artist, regardless of which city you call home.

Why a hand-painted original is the best option, anywhere in Australia

Leah Justyce is an Australian artist with 26 years of independent practice, whose work has featured in British Vogue, World of Interiors and House and Garden UK. She paints contemporary impressionist pet portraits from your photographs, then frames each one in Tasmanian Oak and delivers it free anywhere in the country. Because every portrait is painted from photos rather than a live sitting, you are never limited to whoever happens to be local - you can commission the artist whose work you actually love.

Best custom pet portraits by city

Every capital has its own mix of local print shops and marketplace sellers, but the same hand-painted standard is available everywhere. Explore the guide for your city below.

How the commission works, wherever you live

You send clear photographs of your pet. Leah paints in her own style over 8 to 12 weeks. A 50 percent deposit reserves your place, with the balance paid before framing. The finished, framed portrait is then couriered free to your door anywhere in Australia.

What it costs

Portraits start at 2,500 AUD for a 100x100cm canvas, 3,000 for 120x120cm, and 3,500 for 150x150cm, including hand-painting, Tasmanian Oak framing and free delivery across Australia.
