Process

I’m committed to creating a professional and meaningful portrait of your furry family member.


  1. Contact Me
    Use the Contact Form to send me your name, phone number, and a brief explanation of what you’d like. We’ll discuss specifics, including whether or not you’d like me to photograph your pet. [Alternatively, you may email: art@carrol.us ]
  2. Photo Reference Selection
    If you already have a photo/photos in mind, we can go over which one will offer the best reference for the finished painting.
  3. I Photograph Your Pet (Add-On Service + $50)
    If you do not have reference images, I can come to your house, or we can meet at a local park, where I will take professional photos.
  4. I Paint a Portrait You’re Proud to Have on Your Wall
    My goal is to make you thrilled with your painted pet portrait.

“Carrol’s ability to capture the personality of her subject in her work is incredible. Having this one of kind piece of art is a gift I’ll enjoy for many years to come!”.
