My style plays on traditional techniques and contemporary styles with a combination of oil and acrylic paints. I bring my art to life with a remarkable level of illustrative realism to capture the unique personality of every one of my subjects.

I work from photographs that you provide. Photos that work best are up close, well lit, and capture your companions personality at their absolute best. I send periodic updates as your portrait develops.

I’m an artist, art educator, printmaker, and graphic designer. As an artist, creating something personal and meaningful for others what I enjoy most, with a body of work that spans the country, immortalizing the awesome individuality of my clients’ companions.

Please contact and book me on Petworks. Thank You.

The painting Jason made of our Katsu was perfect. We lost her to cancer and the night the painting arrived is the night we got her ashes as well. She returned home to us that day. Thank you Jason for perfectly capturing out girl. She is beautiful.
