Because they are MORE then just a dog
Memorial portraits that preserve the memory of a beloved companion.
We share a deep bond with our dogs. This love transcends mere affection. We experience a lifetime of slobbery kisses, quiet company, and unbridled chaos. We speak a language through playful nips, soulful gazes, and the warm weight of a furry blockhead on our lap.
But sometimes love yearns for a tangible expression — a way to transform these impermanent moments into a lasting legacy.
To that end, I create soul-stirring custom dog portraits that let your dog’s spirit shine through. Each portrait is created individually and thoughtfully, never rushed and never treated like just another order.
These are visual expressions of love that quietly declare,
Every piece becomes a reflection of your journey together. You will see your dog in every brushstroke, their spirit in every vibrant hue, and love etched into the craftsmanship of every portrait.
I take on a limited number of commissions at a time so each piece receives the time and attention it deserves.
The result is a one-of-a-kind artwork — a lasting reminder of the joy and love you share.
I’m David Holzemer, a Pittsburgh-based dog portrait artist. I train under Master Artist Michelle Parsley and specialize in detailed digital painting techniques used to create archival-quality artwork.
