Amid the rush of digital convenience, Riverry Studio offers something uniquely intimate—a way to transform life’s cherished moments into stunning, hand-painted watercolor portraits. From family milestones to beloved pets, their custom creations preserve memories with a depth and warmth that technology can’t replicate.
Custom Pet Portraits and More: From Pandemic Passion to Flourishing Business
Riverry Studio was born during the pandemic when uncertainty pushed its founders to find creative inspiration. After commissioning a watercolor pet portrait of their newly adopted dog, they quickly realized the emotional power of this art form. Soon, friends and family were requesting their own custom pet sketch portraits, sparking the idea for what would become a thriving business.
“We saw how much these pieces resonated with people,” the founders reflect. “They told stories, preserved memories, and made perfect meaningful gifts.” Fast forward five years and Riverry Studio has blossomed into a team of over 100 artists who have created over 100,000 portraits.
Tackling Challenges with Creativity and Care
Running a growing business meant overcoming several challenges. Riverry Studio focused on maintaining high-quality craftsmanship while achieving its hallmark quick turnaround of 3-5 days. It struck the ideal balance between quality and speed by investing in its artists’ skills and improving operational efficiency.
The heart of Riverry Studio lies in its dedication to bringing customers’ visions to life. Many requests are deeply personal, from custom pet memorials for grieving families (learn more, here) to merging photographs into multi-generational family portraits. Whether it’s a watercolor house painting or an intricate family scene, each piece is a collaborative effort designed to resonate emotionally with its recipient.
Supporting Fire-Affected Communities
In response to the recent Palisades and Eaton fires, Riverry Studio launched an initiative aimed at preserving cherished memories through art. Understanding the profound loss experienced by the community, Riverry Studio now offers free watercolor portraits of residential properties and businesses destroyed in these fires. Eligibility extends to all residential homes and local businesses lost in the fires, with availability based on the current capacity of their artists.
To honor these homes and local businesses, Riverry Studio encourages those affected to request a portrait by filling out the form on their website at www.riverry.com. While the portraits are offered for free, customers will need to cover the shipping and framing costs.

Riverry Studio shines as a haven for bespoke artwork in a sea of digital and AI-driven competitors. They create one-of-a-kind pieces, such as custom watercolor paintings using real paper and paint. This tactile approach imbues their work with an emotional richness that digital art simply cannot replicate.
Their focus on customer satisfaction further sets them apart. Riverry Studio offers unlimited revisions, ensuring every portrait painting or family scene is shipped only when the client is fully satisfied. “We’re not happy unless our customers are thrilled,” the founders explain.
Custom Pet Portraits: Painting Stories that Matter
Every piece created by Riverry Studio tells a story. Their pet memorial portraits have comforted grieving families by capturing the essence of beloved animals. Similarly, their custom portraits from photos allow families to commemorate milestones like graduations, anniversaries, and cultural heritage in a timeless, artistic way.
