Give a Gift with meaning

Why a Gift Certificate Works So Well

A custom portrait is deeply personal, which makes it surprisingly difficult to purchase for someone else. Most people don’t know which photograph their partner treasures, whether their friend would prefer a classic Signature Portrait or a full Storyscape, or what size makes sense for their home. A Gift Certificate solves those unknowns gracefully.

Instead of guessing, you give the recipient the fun part — choosing their photos, deciding on the style, and collaborating on the artwork itself. They get the full creative experience. You get the credit for giving a meaningful, intentional gift.

(It also happens to be an excellent last-minute option… but we don’t need to say that part out loud.)

How It Works

1. Choose the Portrait Style and Size
Use the drop-down menu to select your portrait style and canvas size. Whether you’re gifting a classic Signature Portrait or a richly detailed Storyscape, your recipient can redeem it at any time.

2. Your Certificate Arrives
You’ll receive a gift certifcate in a beautiful gift box in time for Christmas.

3. The Process Begins in January
Your recipient will start their consultation after the holidays. We’ll talk through their vision, photos, and any details they want woven into the portrait.

THE PORTRAIT GIFT
from $440.00

Give a custom pet portrait commission as a curated gift. Choose the portrait style, size, and framing -- the recipient handles the rest.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

A portrait commission is a personal thing. The right photo, the right mood, the right size for the right wall -- these are details the recipient is better positioned to decide. The Portrait Gift lets them do exactly that.

Choose the portrait style, size, and framing below. Your gift arrives in a keepsake box with the certificate, a fine art print, the Pouka studio magazine, and a note to get the conversation started. The recipient reaches out when they're ready and guides the commission from there.

The certificate amount applies in full toward the portrait selected. Upgrades -- a larger size, a Storyscape in place of a Signature Portrait, or a different framing finish -- can be worked out during the commission process.

Gift boxes can be shipped to you or directly to the recipient.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Choose Style, Size, and Framing Select from the dropdown menus below.

2. Your Box Ships Everything arrives ready to give -- certificate, fine art print, studio magazine, and a personal note.

3. The Recipient Reaches Out When they're ready, they contact the studio, share their photos, and the commission begins.
