The Importance of Framing

To enhance the beauty and longevity of your pet portrait, proper framing is essential. Olivia understands the importance of presentation and offers custom framing services upon request. Soft pastels require specific framing techniques and materials to ensure their longevity and safeguard against smudging or damage. 


If you prefer a specific style or have a particular vision in mind, she can work with you to create a frame that complements the artwork and suits your home's aesthetic.

About Olivia: A Journey of Passion and Dedication

Olivia's journey as an artist has been filled with perseverance and triumph. Five years ago, in 2015, she found herself unemployed and defeated. However, she turned to her art as a form of solace and self-expression. Working in a small, cramped space within her dad's workshop, she poured her heart and soul into her craft.


Through determination and the support of her clients, Olivia's business flourished, and she now has her own studio space. Her childhood dream of becoming an artist has been fulfilled, thanks to the unwavering support of the community.


Olivia's artistic journey took a fortunate turn when her cousin, reality star Cameran Wimberly, shared her work on Instagram a few years ago. This unexpected exposure drew significant attention to Olivia's talent and became a turning point for her business. The support and encouragement she received from her cousin and the wider community played a crucial role in shaping her artistic path.


By supporting a local artist like Olivia, you contribute to the realization of a dream and help preserve the beauty of our pets through art.

Soft Pastels / Art Medium Used

Soft pastels are pure dry pigment combined with just enough binder to form into sticksthat provide a beautiful, soft, matte finish. It’s the same medium Masters of theRenaissance (such as Leonardo da Vinci) used in portraits and many modern artists inthe UK still use today. Pastels are made to adhere to textured surfaces, but will need tobe kept behind glass as the medium can still smudge due to that lack of binder. Thisdoes not mean a lack of quality, but actually a purer quality. The less binder, the purerthe pigment. This results in a very precious, very classic piece of art.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pay once the portrait is finished?

The customer would need to put 10% down before the portrait can begin. The remaining amount will be due once the portrait is completed. If the customer cancels after two weeks of the retainer payment, it cannot be refunded.

How long does it take to get a portrait made?

Olivia can get booked out 1-3 months in advance. Once the retainer is paid, she reserves the next available slot on her calendar. The portrait is usually completed within that same month, but the completion can sometimes rollover into the following month.

Do the portraits come framed?

The prices listed are unframed, but soft pastels do require framing.

Does the artist need to see the pet in person?

It is all done conveniently online. All Olivia needs is a good main photo as the reference, but additional photos are great for understanding eye and fur color.

Can I have multiple pets together on one drawing?

Multiple pets can be together for sizes 16x20 to 20x30. One photo as reference that has all pets together usually work really well. However, the artist has also combined multiple photos together.

Can I add whatever background I want?

Most portraits come with a solid/gradient color background of the customer’s choice to keep the focus on the pet, but the artist has taken requests and creative liberty as well.

Can I get photo approval before I pay a retainer?

Yes! Olivia has worked with all kinds of photo references, but the better the photo, the better the final artwork will be.
