Pet Profiles

by Toni Lee Vosika

Toni's pet portraits capture the pet's character and personality. No portrait is painted purely from a photograph. Toni begins work only after meeting the pet and learning their personality.

Animal portraits are done by commission through the artist and no pet portraits are done solely by photograph. The artist will visit the animal in his or her home and access the personality of the dog or cat in its home environment.

Sketches will be made and a reference photograph taken at the time of the visit and the final portrait will convey the soul of the animal through the eyes and stance of the pet.

"Toni Vosika created a a wonderful portrait of our dog Sidney several years ago. Now we count it among our family heirlooms. Our granddaughter, age 3, loves our Sidney very much. Sidney is now nine years old, but our Lucy will always be able to remember her dog, Sidney. Thank you, Toni, for this treasure."
Mr and Mrs George Hurley of Penn Valley, Pennsylvania

"Toni Vosika paints what she loves, what touches her, and what makes her happy. These are the same reasons that people have for coming to Cape May, and they are also why people have pets. I will always have the spirit of Jenny with me because Toni captured it in her portrait of Jenny, and that is huge for me."
Annette Wilfong, Real Estate Appraiser
