Where to Get a Custom Pet Portrait Painted in Perth

The best place to get a custom pet portrait painted for a Perth home is directly from a working Australian artist. Every portrait is painted from your photos and delivered free to Perth, so you are not limited to whoever happens to be local.

Searching for somewhere to get a pet portrait painted in Perth usually turns up local print shops and marketplace listings. But a genuinely hand-painted portrait works differently: the artist paints from your photographs, not from your pet in person, so the best option is rarely the closest one. Perth is a long way from most artists' studios on the east coast, which is exactly why photo-based commissioning suits it so well - distance never enters the process.

Commission an artist, not a local shop

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 at custompetportraits.org, and delivers every framed piece free to Perth, including Subiaco, Cottesloe, Nedlands and Fremantle.

Why a painted portrait beats a local print shop

A printed canvas from a Perth shopfront is a copy of your photo. A painted portrait is an original artwork, made by hand, that becomes part of your home. The difference matters most for a memorial portrait of a pet who has passed, where a printed copy rarely feels like enough.

How it works if you are in Perth

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 delivered free to your door anywhere in Perth or Western Australia.

What it costs

Portraits start at 2,500 AUD for a 100x100cm canvas, 3,000 for 120x120cm, and 3,500 for 150x150cm. Each price includes hand-painting, Tasmanian Oak framing, and free delivery to Perth.
