Worldwide Animal Portrait Artists Resource List

 Animal Portrait Artists

This Animal Portrait Artists resource list is for you. There’s nothing quite like having a drawing or a painting of your beloved pet on the wall, something that will last a very long time. This list (will) feature artists from around the world, working with all media – pencil, charcoal, colored pencil, pastels, acrylic, oil, even fabric … What am I forgetting? I list the artists here, according to the country in which they live.

Bear with me as I build this page. I have much research to do. Thanks for visiting, and let me know your experiences with the artists here. If you commission any animal portrait artists to do a piece for you, let me know how happy you are with the results. I’d love to hear about it.

Please report links that no longer work.  Thank you!
