"I couldn't be happier with the portrait I ordered from Hiriwā! The artist was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. She was incredibly efficient, responsive and genuinely took the time to understand the little details that were important. The proofs she provided were incredible right off the bat and it was clear she really cares about getting the final result perfect. The finished portrait is absolutely beautiful and captures the personality of my mum's dogs so well, and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. It's going to make such a special gift for my mum. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Hiriwā to anyone looking for a special, personalised pet portrait. The quality, attention to detail and customer service were all exceptional. Thank you so much! 🐾💗"

"I absolutely love the portraits Hiriwā Art created for me! I first met the artist at the Little Big Markets, and then asked her to do a portrait of my dog, followed by one of my Dads horse. The outcome of both portraits was incredible. She captured their personalities and features so beautifully, and I absolutely love the way she depicted them. I couldn’t recommend Hiriwā Art highly enough if you are looking for a beautiful piece of art!"

How Your Portrait Is Created

Step 1 – Upload a photo (or photos) of your pet and select the desired size (A4, A3, A2, A1, or A0) and style (Black & White or Colour) for your pet portrait. I will review your submission and let you know whether the image is suitable.
Step 2 – I proceed with the portrait and create the artwork of your pet.
Step 3 – Once completed, you will receive a proof of your portrait and payment will be due. I will prepare an invoice for your order containing payment details. Please allow one to two business days for your payment to clear.
Step 4 – Orders are sent to print within one business day of receiving payment. Your finished pet portrait is then packaged and shipped in an eco-friendly paper courier bag, folder, or tube.

I will contact you with status updates throughout the process. All orders are sent with online tracking.

Choosing a Photo

I use your exact photo as my reference when creating the artwork, therefore, the detail in your photograph will determine the quality of the portrait. Your pet's face/head needs to be in focus, well lit, and clear without any cropping of their ears, nose, etc. Please provide the largest image resolution you have as small images will not be usable. I will review your photo and let you know whether it is suitable before proceeding with the portrait. When in doubt, send several!
