Welcome to Pet Portraits by Deborah. My name is Deborah Jaroscak. I am a professional portrait artist and illustrator with over 30 years experience in the field. I am a graduate of Cooper School of Art, having majored in Fashion Illustration and Portraiture. I live in the Cleveland, Ohio area with my family, including our four-legged family members who bring that added joy to our home.

After working as an illustrator for many years while commissioning portraits out of my home studio, my focus now is exclusively portraits, which has always been my passion. I work in fine art colored pencils because of the beautiful detail I can achieve. My artistic gift is in capturing each unique personality to convey the very essence of your beloved pet that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Feel free to take a look at my gallery page where you can see some of the past portrait commissions I have done. You will find the commission process page will explain the process from start to finish. There is a page with photo tips for taking digital pictures I can work from, and a portrait fees page with corresponding sizes and contact information.

Thank you for stopping by... I hope I can create for you a beautiful one-of-a-kind portrait of your beloved pet.
