Pet portraits are trending throughout the art scene, becoming the must-have artwork for all animal loving art collectors. KAB Gallery can immortalise your beloved pet into an original artwork with the help of our stable of talented Australian artists, creating the perfect keepsake to treasure forever. Whether you would prefer bold iconic pop art styles, textured impasto or classical realism, we can help create the perfect personalised pet portrait.

Pets have been celebrated in art throughout history. Even as far back as Egyptian tombs there are famous depictions of domestic pet companion animals. Dogs and cats were turned into icons and sculptures, and used as symbols on interior walls. Fast-forward to now and our beloved pet companions have never been more welcomed into family life. Whether your pet is a friendly K-9 pal, cheeky budgerigar or fluffy kitten, a stylish painting of them could be exactly what your interior needs.

Select your favourite art style, colours and size requirements – KAB Gallery will take care of the rest!

I always enjoy seeing the pet portraits come to life. Here are a few of my favourite projects I have worked on recently.

Make your pet portrait unique to you and your interior style

KAB Gallery can work with you to personalise the painting to suit your unique taste and style. From background colours to custom sizes or medium, we can fulfil any request that suits your pet’s personality or the portrait’s home.

This painting by Jacki Fewtrell-Gobert is the ultimate example of this type of personalisation. The client loved the artist’s internationally famed interior paintings but was most interested in a pet portrait. By introducing the pet as a feature of the interior scene, an original one-of-a-kind composition was created. Along with Stevie the cat, the painting was further personalised with specific art inclusions, trinkets and ornaments, art sculptures and books. The result was eclectic, interesting and stylish.

This piece was custom size and framed for a built-in niche at the home entrance. It was created with a particular composition in mind along with various colour specifics.

Final piece framed and about to be collected from KAB Gallery Terrigal

“I picked up our artwork on Wednesday and it’s stunning. It was hung it as soon as I got home and it looks perfect in the niche. Thank you for making the whole commission process easy, I am thrilled with the results.”
