6 Months in Review of My Pet Portrait Business
Share
Hello, fellow pet lovers!
It’s hard to believe it’s already been six months since I launched my pet portrait business in Glasgow. Your incredible support has made this journey possible, and I can’t thank you enough for being part of this adventure with me. From personalised pet portrait commissions to craft markets and events, it’s been a whirlwind, and I’m beyond excited to share some updates and reflections as I head into the next chapter!
A Whirlwind First Six Months as a Glasgow Custom Pet Portrait Artist
These first six months as a professional pet portrait artist have been amazing. I’ve learned so much, especially during my first Christmas season:
-
Created 17 custom Christmas pet portraits—bringing pets’ personalities to life as special gifts
-
Participated in three Christmas markets and sold over 200 Christmas cards—seeing the joy my pet art brought to so many was incredible
-
Navigated quieter months in January and February, learning how to stay resilient during slower periods
-
Learned valuable printing lessons—mixing designs helped smooth the printing process, and I’m ready to tackle the next season with this knowledge!
Most importantly, I’ve learned that I truly can do this. I’m living my dream by creating unique pet art and connecting with people and their beloved pets every day.
