RememberING OUR ANIMAL FRIENDS THROUGH ART
Honoring All Creatures Great and Small
When you have an animal companion, the bond can be greater than what you might feel with many humans. They love us unconditionally and accept us rain or shine. This is a special friendship and bond. Whether your pet is alive and enjoying life with you, or has passed on, a portrait painted with love is a tremendous gift.
We'll have a conversation to see what best fits your heart and your pet's heart. I'll use your favorite colors, toys, foods, expressions, and activities, to create a one-of-a-kind painting that honors your Forever Friend here and beyond.

I've been drawing and creating art since I was a small child. I'm self-taught, and have had the good fortune of sharing my work at group art shows, cafes, and alternative venues over many years.
Art = Life. Creating something out of nothing is a pleasure like no other.
A friend with a pet shop once wished to host my art, and the pet portraits began. Most of these images were commissioned. I found I enjoyed capturing animal faces just as much as I did painting the human form, each personality unique. It's a pleasure to work with photos to capture their unique flavor, energy, and charm.
