About Elise
Meet Elise.
Elise Leasure is a Jacksonville Beach artist specializing in custom watercolor pet portraits. Her coastal surroundings are reflected in the soft blues, sandy tones, and easy warmth of her work.
Working from photographs, she paints the details that make a pet recognizable: the tilt of a head, a favorite toy, a wonderfully scruffy face.
A portrait can be a gift, a way to remember a companion, or simply a piece of art for your own home. Start with a photo you love.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What kind of photos should I send?
Clear, well-lit photos work best. Natural light is ideal, and close-up shots that show your pet’s face and expression are especially helpful.
Do you paint cats and other pets too?
Yes. While many commissions are dogs, Elise can also paint cats and other beloved pets.
Can I include more than one pet?
Yes. Additional pets can be included for an added fee of $25 per pet.
Do you offer pickup and shipping?
Yes. Local pickup is available in the Jacksonville Beach area, and shipping is also available.
