Welcome
My Name is Brianna Leidy
I am a professional oil painter, specializing in custom pet portraiture over the last 10 years. My work centers on creating hand-painted portraits of dogs, cats, and other pets on stretched canvas, using client-provided photos to capture each pet’s unique spirit. My portraits are cherished in nearly all 50 states and internationally, creating lasting memories for pet owners across the globe. I work from my studio in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Eastern Pennsylvania.
Custom Pet Oil Paintings
If you’re considering a custom oil painting of your pet, the process is quite straightforward. To begin, simply provide a photo (or several) of your pet along with any specific details you’d like incorporated in the painting. We will discuss your vision for the portrait, or if you prefer, you can leave the creative details to me.

What Some Of My Clients Had To Say…

Jeff S.
"I like paintings that accurately capture the source material and have very good attention to detail. This is what I expected to get but what I received exceeded any expectations I had going in. The level of detail in the paintings is incredible. If an accurate recreation of a picture of your pet is what you are looking for you are not likely to find a better artist."

Each portrait is typically painted over the course of three weeks, with about 7-14 days of drying time needed before shipment or pick up of the piece.

Absolutely. When paying in installments, most clients choose to pay a 50% deposit, but I allow up to 5 payments.

I can work from multiple photos for both singular pet portraits, and multi-pet portraits. Having multiple photos to work from helps me best portray your pet.
While a single group photo isn’t necessary for multi-pet portraits, it’s helpful if each pet's reference photo has similar lighting and angles to ensure a cohesive look in the final portrait.
