Reference image

For the best results, please provide very good quality photo.

Tips on finding a good photo reference:

  • a portrait shot, possibly with a bit of the torso and paws if they add to the visual interest

  • a very clear and sharp view of the facial features

  • a clear view of the eyes, ideally both or at least one eye in the light (creates depth and luminescence)

  • not an action shot. Working with blurry images is impossible.

  • avoid dark photos, with face of the furry animal in the shade.

  • the photo should be large enough to allow for zooming into the features.

  • I recently commissioned a piece of art work from Liana of my dog who had recently passed away. Liana was not only incredibly professional and upfront with pricing, but put such thought and care into the piece- frequently checking in over the course of the project and with incredible attention to detail. The final piece was better than I could have imagined and truly brought tears to my eyes - and my husband’s, who was the recipient of the gift. She is incredibly talented and such a kind and thoughtful person. I cannot recommend her enough!

  • Liana is a highly talented, warm and compassionate animal portrait artist! She captured the likeness and essence of our Oliver who passed recently and moved us to tears. Thank you, Liana!

  • I purchased several pieces of art from Liana, including two custom requests. Liana is prompt, courteous and ensures a unique and customized buying experience for her customers. Not to mention, her work is beautiful!
