Power Animal Portraits
A one-of-a-kind portrait of the animal that holds meaning for you, drawn by hand in ink and color.
Each commission begins with a conversation about the animal you feel connected to and what it means to you. You can share anything that feels important — its qualities, symbolism, colors, or details from your own connection to it. From there, I develop the piece through my own artistic interpretation, drawing it slowly by hand in black ink and color.
What's included:
Original Power Animal Portrait — drawn by hand in black ink or black ink and color, depending on the commission.
Framing — A4 and A3 can be provided framed. Larger formats are priced unframed, with framing available on request depending on location and shipping.
A written reflection on your Power Animal — a personalized exploration of its symbolism, qualities, and archetypal meaning.
Worldwide shipping — included for smaller commissions; larger formats are quoted separately depending on size, framing, and destination.

Not Sure Which Animal to Commission?
If you feel drawn to having a Power Animal portrait created but don’t yet know which animal you’d like me to draw, you can begin with a Power Animal Journey.
This is a private guided drum journey where you have the opportunity to encounter your Power Animal through your own experience. The journey then becomes the starting point for an original portrait created from what emerged.
“The drawing of my Power Animal is incredibly beautiful. It serves as a quiet companion and a reminder of what I'm connecting to in my life.”
— Marcelle Bottini
The Process
Conversation
After you reach out, I’ll send you a short questionnaire about the animal you feel connected to, any preferences you’d like to share, and the personal context you’d like me to consider.
Creation
I develop the piece through my own artistic interpretation, working slowly by hand in ink and color. Most commissions are completed within approximately four to six weeks.
Delivery
Once complete, your original artwork is carefully packaged and shipped to you together with its accompanying written reflection.
