April Riedl - Pastel Pet Portraits - Nationwide
My name is April, and I'm a pet portrait artist based in Huntley, IL. I have always had a passion for art, and my love for animals led me to specialize in creating unique and personalized portraits of pets. I work with a variety of mediums, including acrylics, oils, and watercolors, to bring out the individual personality and character of each animal I paint. I take pride in my attention to detail and my ability to capture the essence of each pet, creating a treasured keepsake for their owners. When I'm not in my studio, you can often find me spending time outdoors with my own beloved pets, finding inspiration for my next project. I'm an artist who creates pet portraits from a photo of your pet. Cost depends on size and how detailed the image is. Thank you.
