Custom Portrait Commissions
Graphite pencil drawings bring out the unique characteristics of each pet while the simplicity of the black and white focus the attention on the beauty and emotion of the subject. Custom portrait commissions are a beautiful way to showcase your furry friend. They make a memorable gift, lovely work to grace your home, or a beautiful way to memorialize a beloved pet. Each portrait is meticulously labored over to create a true work of art. Portraits are available in custom sizes, layouts, and framed or unframed options. For further information visit my commission process page or contact me to learn more or get a custom quote.

“Amazing drawing of my border collie! Looks like a picture only better, and definitely captured his focused and intense personality. I’ve always thought in drawings, the eyes make the animal ‘come alive’ and Heatherlyn got the eyes perfect!”

“Heatherlyn is an amazing animal artist. She was able to capture both the look and the emotion of our two little dogs, ‘Dolce’ a tiny Chihuahua, and ‘Wesley’, our Shih Tzu very well. The cards we purchased are… an absolute delight! In addition to mailing them to family and close friends, we’ve found them suitable for framing as well!”
