Who are we
Who we are
13th Studio is a small, two-person studio creating hand-painted acrylic portraits that celebrate the pets we love most.
We’re based in - and focused on - the UK, working with a simple idea: the best portraits aren’t rushed. Every piece is painted with care, with attention to expression, colour, and the little details that make a pet feel like your pet.
What we make
- Hand-painted acrylic pet portraits (not digital filters, not AI-generated)
- A premium, gallery-style finish designed to look great in a home
- A streamlined commission experience from photo → painting → delivery
Our approach
Premium quality, limited capacity. We take on a small number of commissions at a time so each portrait gets the attention it deserves.
Simple, guided process. You don’t need to know what to ask for—we’ll guide you on photo selection, sizing, and style so the end result feels right.
Made to keep. These are heirloom pieces: a thoughtful gift, a memorial, or a way to mark a moment.
Meet the studio
We’re a two-person team combining:
- Art + craft: the painting itself—composition, colour, and detail
- Customer experience: clear communication, timelines, and delivery
(If you’d like, we can add names/bios here. For now, this is written to work even without personal details.)
Why pets
Pets aren’t “just” pets. They’re daily companions, family, and memory-holders. We started 13th Studio to create portraits that feel emotionally true—art you’ll want to stop and look at for years.
Commission a portrait
If you’d like to commission a portrait, here’s the simplest next step:
- Send 2–5 photos of your pet (we’ll help you pick the best one)
- Tell us size (or ask for a recommendation)
- Share any notes (background, colours, collar details, etc.)
