A pet portrait made to last

Hello, if you're looking for a hand-painted portrait of your cat(s) and dog(s), you've come to the right place!

My name is Ma Ly and I'm a professional artist based in Fresno, California. I have been painting commissioned pet portraits for years and I also have been teaching art professionally since 2011. I always enjoy the challenge of capturing your fur babies' personality beyond their likeness. Each portrait is one-of-a-kind and highly personalized, created with the best archival paint and materials.

Please peruse my portfolio and find out how to commission a portrait.

Beautiful thoughts from happy patrons

” We had lost our dog Littlefoot (who was my husband's dog). I had a picture that I liked with him and my husband and I thought I would like to get a painting done with both of them as a birthday present. I found Ma Ly on the internet and liked his style so I commissioned him for the painting. Ma did a wonderful job and we love to look at the painting and remember our pet.”

” I had Ma paint my dog Samantha as she is getting older, I can see her spirit in the painting. Ma captured her personality in his Artwork. Highly recommend him and I’m very thankful that I met. One day I will have to lean on that picture. Very thankful to have it.”

” I told my sister that I wanted a collage style painting of my grandchild with the 8 cats and dogs that made an impact on their life so far. She suggested Ma who was a wonderful communicator from start to finish. I sent pictures of all and he arranged them beautifully with the person in the middle surrounded by the animals. Everything from the colors, the textures, the expressions and the personalities of all subjects really came through. I am so happy to have been able to gift this to my grandchild. It is in their home as a loving reminder of their furry friends! Thank you Ma, you are an amazing artist!.”
