HOW MARIA TUULAS STARTED...

Hello!
My name is Maria, and I’m a professional pet portrait artist based in Helsinki, Finland. My work is a blend of my lifelong love for animals and my passion for art.

I specialize in creating realistic, custom portraits of animals, with a focus on capturing not just their appearance, but their unique character, mood, and soul.

I work with clients from all over the world, drawing a wide range of animals — from cats and dogs to farm animals and wildlife.

In my practice, I use a variety of techniques, including:
— digital illustration with Procreate
— watercolor
— acrylic
— signature and mixed media techniques

This versatility allows me to tailor each artwork to suit the individual style and wishes of every client.

A custom pet portrait is more than just a picture — it's a heartfelt memory and a meaningful, one-of-a-kind gift created with care and love.
