Colourful, Hand-Painted Pet Portraits and Animal Artwork

Hi! I’m Laura Boatman (aka Boaty), a Sydney-based acrylic artist who loves working with vibrant colour. I specialise in pet portraits and animal art and my mission is to create uplifting, high vibe pieces, that radiate positivity and joy. 10% of each pet portrait that I create is donated to animal rescue to support animals in need.

CREATE YOUR CUSTOM ARTWORK

Commission Your Custom Artwork In Three Easy Steps!

1. Select your canvas size

Choose from a variety of canvas sizes. If your desired size is not listed, please get in contact with me. I use premium Belgian linen stretched canvases as standard, unless otherwise specified.

2. Select your background colour

Please describe what background colour you would like. As standard, I paint a plain coloured background so please provide as much detail on the shade as possible/or send an example. If you’re not sure what colour will work for your commissioned piece I can help you select one! For other background options, please send me an email

3. Fill out a custom briefing form

For pet portraits - once the commission is booked you can email me photo/s of your beloved pet to work from. During the booking process you can make any special requests e.g. name tags

For custom animal art work - you will be asked to fill out a custom briefing form so that I can understand your vision.

What happens next?

Once you’ve booked your commission, I will be in touch regarding an ETA for the finished piece, which usually takes between 3-6 weeks to create prior to shipping. I offer FREE delivery Australia wide, but international shipping is also available. I will send you a preview once completed, so that you can request any small amends ahead of shipping.
