what pet parents are saying!

  • Brightly colored watercolor painting of a blue dog with a purple tint surrounded by two orange and blue cats painted by Susanna Patterson.

    "I’ve had the pleasure of working with Susanna on several custom art projects, and I continue to be amazed by both her talent and attention to detail. She has a unique ability to take an idea and turn it into something even more beautiful than I imagined. Every piece she’s created for me has been thoughtfully crafted, high quality, and truly one of a kind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for custom artwork from a skilled and passionate artist."

    -Rachel

  • Colorful watercolor painting of a Australian sheperd, featuring blue, orange, and white shades, with expressive eyes and a pink tongue painting by Susanna Patterson.

    “When you see a portrait of a pet you’ve never met, you notice the “craftsmanship" and skill of the painter. When I received Susanna’s painting of Atlas, her skill and technique was lost to me and over shadowed by the presence of my dog’s personality. I don’t know how she conveys his spirit the way she does but I feel like he is in her painting and I’ll always be able to see him.”

    -Nathan

  • Watercolor painting of a blue puppy with brown eyes, wearing a brown collar with a black bone-shaped tag that says "Smokey" painting by Susanna Patterson.

    "I ordered two pet portraits as Christmas gifts—one for my grandma's dog and one for my friend whose dog had recently passed away—and they were absolutely perfect. The watercolor detail was beautiful, and Susanna captured each dog's personality so well. Both gifts were incredibly meaningful and such a special way to celebrate and remember beloved pets. I will definitely purchase another portrait in the future!"

    -Katrina

  • Colorful watercolor painting of a white lab puppy in light blue shades and a cat with orange fur, the puppy is standing over the cat, painted by Susanna Patterson.

    “Susanna created the most beautiful watercolor portrait of my dog, Thor, and my cat, Simba, and I truly couldn’t love it more. She captured not only what they look like, but also the little things that make them so special to me. As they are now getting to be older, I'm so happy to have a keepsake of our two furry family members! Susanna was amazing to work with from start to finish and I recommend her to every one I know! All I had to do was provide photos, and she turned them into a stunning piece that exceeded my expectations.”

    -Katie

  • Watercolor painting of a old dog laying on a brown couch in shades of blue and orange painted by Susanna Patterson.

    “Working with Susanna has been a dream! I thought commissioning art would be intimidating, but she made the process fun and easy. My family loves our dogs, especially my dad who is notoriously hard to shop for, so I started with a picture of Charlie, my parent’s dog, for Christmas. She captured he’s personality so well that my dad was moved to tears. I was so pleased with how it turned out that I have continued to order a painting for them every Christmas to included past family dogs. I cannot recommend Susanna enough!”
