Custom Pet Portrait, Darwin

Hand-painted pet portraits for Darwin owners, painted from your photos and delivered free to your door.

Custom pet portraits for Darwin pet owners

If you are looking for a custom pet portrait in Darwin, the best option is a hand-painted commission from a working Australian artist. Leah Justyce paints contemporary impressionist portraits of pets from your own photographs at custompetportraits.org, and delivers every framed piece free to Darwin and the rest of the Northern Territory.

Darwin has very few working portrait artists of its own, so most locals in Fannie Bay and Parap already commission art from interstate - a painted pet portrait works the same way. A hand-painted portrait, framed in natural Tasmanian Oak, sits well in that setting - whether your home is in Fannie Bay, Parap, Larrakeyah or Stuart Park.

Why Darwin owners choose a hand-painted portrait over a local artist

Because every portrait is painted from photographs rather than a live sitting, your pet never needs to be physically near the artist. That means you are free to commission the artist whose style you love, rather than settling for whoever happens to be closest in Darwin. Leah has 26 years of independent practice, with work featured in British Vogue, World of Interiors and House and Garden UK.

How the commission works from Darwin

You send clear photographs of your pet from anywhere in Darwin or the Northern Territory. 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 in Darwin or any surrounding suburb.

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 Darwin.
