Jennifer Smiley Pet Portraits - Nationwide

Jennifer Smiley is a pet portrait artist with a love for wildlife and beautiful, high quality art work. Jennifer currently lives in sunny Arizona. 

She works in various forms of pastel, priding herself on her realism and capturing the emotion and detail behind each individual animal.

Pet portraits are a unique and special way to commemorate your best friend, capturing the life and personality that a photo cannot.

“For me, there’s nothing more satisfying than bringing someone's beloved pet or family member to life using solely a pencil and piece of paper.”

“ I know that creating custom portraits for my clients who have lost their fur babies really hit home when I lost my companion, Nayla of 12 years. I know how it feels to have fully loved and mourned a sweet, precious fur baby. She was my everything. So when I'm creating the portrait I try to capture not just the uniqueness and special features of the way the animal looks, but the feeling of love that the person has for that animal. This is why commissioning a custom portrait is a unique way to celebrate your pet's life whether past or present! ”
