Pet Portrait Testimonials
“A few of us commissioned Laura to create a portrait for a coworker after she lost her pet. The finished piece was beautiful and felt so personalized. It meant a lot to our colleague, and it felt like a more meaningful, lasting way to show our support than simply sending flowers.”
— Jennifer S.“Laura’s watercolor pet portraits are nothing short of amazing. The portraits Laura made for my dogs portrayed their unique features and personalities in the most vibrant, colorful way. Her use of texture and depth is exceptional. I’ll cherish these all my life and I can’t wait to order another for my new puppy!”
— Kate W.
“Aside from being completely professional in her cost structure and timeline, Laura also really captured Lando's spirit and was able to bring out his facial features, which is really hard to do in photos since his face is so dark. We like the portrait so much we are planning to do more for other birthday and holiday gifts!”
— Jim H.Book Available November 1st: Rocky the Rescue Boxer

Featured Project: Bar Dog Wine Label
After Rico was selected as the winner of Bar Dog Wine’s 2026 Label Contest, Laura Perrone was commissioned to create his official portrait artwork for the next national release of Bar Dog Sauvignon Blanc.
The collaboration reflects Bar Dog Wine’s mission of celebrating dogs, dog lovers, and the rescue community, while showing how a custom pet portrait can become part of a larger brand story.
