Welcome!
My name is Brianna Leidy
I am a professional oil painter based in Eastern Pennsylvania, right outside Philadelphia. I am primarily a commission-based artist, focusing heavily on pet and animal portraiture with dogs and cats being the center of it all. My pet oil paintings are carefully painted by hand on stretched canvas or wooden panel, using the photos provided to me by my clients as reference. In addition to pet portraiture, I have years of experience painting human portraiture, landscapes, still-lives and wildlife– all of which are available by commission.
Custom Pet Oil Paintings
Commission a portrait of your dog, cat, or other pet, completely painted by hand with oil paints on stretched canvas. To get started, I’ll need a photo (or several) of your pet to work from and any details you would like me to know about your pet. We will discuss your vision for the portrait– or you can simply provide a photo of your pet and leave the rest to me.

“Brianna is such a great artist to work with. From the start, she makes sure any reference pictures are good to go and asks about all the details that may go into the piece. Throughout the process, I was given updates on what the painting was looking like and when about it would be shipped. Not only is Brianna a thorough artist in process, her work is breathtaking when it gets taken out of the packaging once it arrives.”

“I asked Brianna to paint my brother's German Shepherd as a Christmas present, and she did a spectacular job -- I'm so thrilled with how it turned out, and the person at the frame shop said it was one of the best portraits he's ever seen. Wonderful, friendly communication every step of the way, safely packaged and shipped. Thank you so much for what will be a truly memorable, one-of-a-kind gift!!”

“No words can truly describe the painting I received from Brianna. The artwork resembles a photograph! The attention to detail is on point. She captured every particular detail of my wife's dog. When I gifted the art to her, it brought her to tears! I am beyond thrilled about to have commissioned Brianna. One of the best gifts I have ever given my wife! I look forward to seeing how Brianna's career advances. I see a very bright future for this young artist!”
