About Me

Lee Portas.

Hello, my name is Lee Portas. I'm an artist focused on painting pet and animal portraits. Based in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada.

Following design and illustration school, I was fortunate enough to build two reputable graphic design and marketing agencies called Frisbee Studios and Mighty Loop, which I still own and operate. For over 20 years in the professional landscape of creative advertising I have never lost my passion for painting and the love of animals. I take each pet painting commission with enthusiasm, getting to hear the stories of why each pet is so meaningful to their owners. I paint with those same feelings and work hard to bring that character onto every canvas. If your interested in a pet portrait please contact me and we can work out what your looking for and I can give you a quote. I'm a no pressure kind of person, so please feel no obligation if your just exploring the idea.

Happy Clients

Lee’s petrait of our dog Barley is amazing. Her ability to put his personality onto canvas is unparalleled to any other pet portraits I’ve seen. It wholly captures his spirit and means so much to us.

Lee Portas has painted several dogs for us that we have given as gifts to very grateful recipients across North America. Each and every one of them looked so much like the owner’s pet! We especially love the way Lee captures the personality of each animal, from an adorable Bichon Frise to a regal Great Dane… she nails it! Our plan is to keep her very busy for years to come… Thank-you for the great work Lee!

When it comes to artists, there are some that can paint a pet portrait, but no one can capture your pet’s personality though the canvas, like Lee can! She is so talented and her love for each animal comes through in her art! I had a portrait of my dog done by Lee and it is SO well done, and amazing you see his funny, whimsical side coming through! I LOVE it and love all of Lee’s work!
