Fine Art Pet & Family Portrait Commissions

Story-rich oil paintings created as future family heirlooms by Houston artist Mia Cugasi.

Each commission begins with your story -- the personality of a beloved pet, the warmth of a family moment, the quiet details that make a memory worth preserving. Hand-painted in oils on archival canvas and panel, these are original portraits meant to be kept for generations. No prints, no digital reproductions -- every brushstroke is Mia's.

Based in Houston, Texas, Mia Cugasi specializes in narrative-driven oil paintings that capture the spirit of your pets and family. Whether you are looking for a single pet portrait, a multi-subject family composition, or a memorial painting to honor a companion who has passed, the process is personal, collaborative, and built around your story. Commissions start at $1,000 for an 8x10 original oil painting and are available in sizes up to 24x36.

Beyond commissions, Mia creates original works available for purchase -- from large-scale statement paintings to accessible small works starting at $500. Each piece carries the same attention to light, color, and emotional depth that defines her commissioned portraits. Browse the gallery below or start a commission consultation.
