Custom pet portraits for Melbourne pet owners

Hand-painted poodle pet portrait, popular with Melbourne clients

If you are looking for a custom pet portrait in Melbourne, 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 Melbourne and the rest of Victoria.

From laneway galleries in the CBD to the terrace houses of Fitzroy and Richmond, Melbourne has one of the strongest art cultures in Australia. A hand-painted portrait, framed in natural Tasmanian Oak, sits well in that setting - whether your home is in South Yarra, Fitzroy, Richmond or St Kilda.

Why Melbourne 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 Melbourne. 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 Melbourne

You send clear photographs of your pet from anywhere in Melbourne or Victoria. 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 Melbourne 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 Melbourne.
