Studio & Safety

Materials

We paint exclusively with professional-grade, archival oil paints and natural binder oils. Every portrait is crafted on linen canvas with non-toxic, pet-safe primers. We prioritize health and durability, ensuring that every artwork remains timeless and safe for display in homes with beloved pets and family members.

During live studio sittings or photo consultations, we maintain a clean, well-ventilated space using odorless mineral spirits and solvent-free mediums. Your pet's safety and comfort are paramount throughout the creative process.

Feel free to request specific hypoallergenic mediums if you or your pets have special sensitivities.

Paints & Oils

Our palette features traditional artist-grade oil pigments bound in cold-pressed linseed and walnut oils. These slow-drying, rich mediums produce lustrous depth without harsh fumes, creating heirloom portraits built to endure for generations.

Please inform us of any respiratory sensitivities prior to visiting our private studio gallery.

Care

Finished oil paintings are treated with natural varnish once fully cured. Display your custom portrait away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity to preserve vivid colors and canvas tension for decades.
