Carla Sternberg Koch - Pet Portrait Artist - Nationwide

Verified Member since Mar 2022 Verified checkmark

I am an experienced pet portrait artist, mostly working in watercolor, sometimes in oil, acrylic, or pastels. I feel the vitality and spirit of the animals I draw, and strive to put this into my art. My own dog is a little Chihuahua-terrier mix named Beau, small but opinionated. I look forward to working with other pet parents to make a portrait that they will always enjoy. I remember my other animals so fondly... my dog Honey passed away not long ago at 17. The paintings bring her warm and loving spirit to mind. Please contact me through Petworks. Have a great day!
