A little about Don Conley

Don Conley is a New York-based artist specializing in bespoke pet portraits that turn treasured photos into lasting works of art.

With colored pencil, pastel, and airbrush techniques, Don builds depth through careful shading—so the finished piece feels alive. The goal isn’t just likeness, it’s personality: the spark in their eyes, the softness of their fur, and the warmth they bring to your home.

Each commission is a close collaboration with pet owners. You’ll be able to share what matters most to you—colors, details, favorite quirks—so the final portrait becomes a meaningful keepsake for years to come.
