About this Product
Custom pet portrait, hand woodburned onto a wooden plank.
Each pet portrait is carefully drawn and burned from your reference photos. Backgrounds in photos can be changed.
Pet portraits make the perfect customized gift, memorializing the comfort and joy derived from our beloved pets.
Pet portraits are approximately 9 x 13”
Protected with UV resistant clear polycrylic
REFERENCE PHOTOS: please contact me to provide pet reference photos. For the best portraits, these should as clear as possible. The best reference photos are taken at the pet’s level, but creative shots are welcome. More than one subject per custom portrait is possible, but the greater the number of subjects, the fewer the details in the end product.
These pyrography - aka woodburn - custom portraits are hand burned on basswood planks with live edges, meaning the bark is still on two edges. This gives your portrait a rustic look. Should you prefer a less rustic look, please let me know.
Woodburned portraits can be drawn as a close replica of a reference or I can add some flair.
*A portrait of this size can take up to a month to complete. Updates will be given. Please contact me for potential start and finish dates.
*Pyrography should be protected from sunlight to minimize fading.

Caffeine and comfort to you! I’m Sabrina Alexander, a pyrography and graphite artist based in St. Louis, Missouri.
Unchecked Arts began as an outlet for the creative exploration of the ways humans and nature impact each other. My art often reflects my fascination with change and varied perspectives. The use of traditional methods stems from an attachment to the transformative nature of taking things slow. Each piece is drawn by hand and therefore unique.

How it’s Made
These pet portraits are drawn by hand from your reference and the result is transferred to a wooden plank. The image is then burned, by hand, onto the wood and sealed.
Shop Policies
Full refund if original artwork is returned undamaged within seven days.
I cannot accept returns on commissioned artwork. Please message me immediately should the item arrive damaged.
When buying pyrography (woodburn), please be aware that you are buying a piece of "living art" and that over time the vibrancy, texture and tonal qualities will most likely change. Wood can darken and is subject to the effects of humidity and lighting. It is up to your care of the art and Mother Nature how much change will occur and when.
That said, keeping the art out of sunlight and away from humidity will help slow the effects of change.
