Custom Pet Portraiture - Pet Portrait Artist - Nationwide
Inspired by my own two beloved dogs, I understand first-hand that special bond between a pet and their owner. There is so much that we learn from raising a puppy to adulthood, and then eventually grieving their loss. Compassion, unconditional love, gratitude comes to mind – and expressing this truth is what drives me. Preserving the pet and human love story makes me smile every day, and I hope it makes you smile as well. A custom pet portrait is unique and truly special, as there is only one in the world. It can serve as a keepsake treasure in your home, or a meaningful gift for family and friends.
My style is a fresh take on traditional pet portraits with a loose flow of brush strokes and unexpected pops of color. Commissioned work is fully custom and I will work with you in finding the perfect reference photo and the right colors for the painting to fit in your home.
Portraits are painted directly on an archival 2" deep solid wood panel, protected with satin varnish, and set in a solid wood floater frame in the color of your choice (Black, White, or Maple).
Complimentary shipping/ fine art packing + insurance is included with each portrait order (U.S. only). Shipping is also available outside of the U.S. - please contact me for rates. Please contact and book me through Petworks. Thank you.

How did you hone your craft?
I started drawing as early as the age of two, and began watching Bob Ross, “The Joy of Painting,” in elementary school. I earned my degree in Fashion Design and Art and lived in New York City for several years working as a Designer in the fashion industry. After nearly twenty years in my professional career, I turned to painting as an outlet and stress reliever. Animals became my subjects, and as a life-long animal lover, I found the perfect marriage of my two passions. Nothing brings me more joy than the happiness my art brings to pet owners and animal lovers alike.
