Every year, over 6.5 million dogs and cats and other household pets are surrendered to animal shelters. From this total, approximately one million animals are euthanized annually.
Since 2016, the Inspired team has helped thousands create custom pet portrait masterpieces. We've helped deliver over 2,500 pet portraits and counting!
Our mission at Pawsome Picasso is to inspire the community to rescue and rehome pets in crisis by lending our expertise via pro bono custom pet portraits.
Once a month, Pawsome Picasso selects a deserving pet to paint. If you are a pet parent who have adopted a pet within the past 12 months and would like a custom pet portrait of your fur baby free of cost (valued at $750), we welcome you to submit an application for consideration. To be considered, you must have:
Photos must be submitted within 7 calendar days of application approval. No exceptions.
Allow 2-3 weeks for pet portrait to be hand sketched. Canvas will be painted on 12" x 16" canvas.
After photo is sketched, allow 2-3 weeks for us to complete a custom pet portrait masterpiece! Shipping is not included.
Pawsome Picasso is a non-profit program dedicated to supporting Southern California families and their animals. We are funded by proceeds from Inspired Art Wine, but your generous donations will help bring more pet portraits to the community!
