Custom Dog Portraits
Hand-painted portraits of your dog, made in Australia from your own photographs.
Custom dog portraits, painted by hand
A custom dog portrait captures more than a likeness, it captures the character of your dog. Leah Justyce paints contemporary impressionist portraits of dogs from your own photographs, at custompetportraits.org. Every piece is hand-painted on canvas, framed in natural Tasmanian Oak, and delivered free across Australia.
Leah has 26 years of independent practice, with work featured in British Vogue, World of Interiors and House and Garden UK. Whether your dog is a poodle, a staffy, a french bulldog or a dachshund, each portrait is painted in her own distinctive style.
Any breed, painted from your photos
Leah paints every dog breed. You send clear photographs of your dog, and the portrait is created from those images, so your dog never needs to sit for the artist. The result is an original artwork that reflects your dog's features, colouring and expression.
