Jacobson Arts - Pet Portrait Artist - Nationwide
Bright, bold, colorful oil paintings of your pets. I don't strive to make photographic representations of your pets, but to capture their spirit and their souls. I work from pictures, and am happy to work with you on color and presentation.
In this exquisite chapter of my life, I've embraced painting and art wholeheartedly. It's a blissful journey of infusing vibrancy, joy, and radiance into my own world and the lives of those touched by my artwork.
Before this, I dedicated 25 years to the field of journalism, serving in various roles like reporter, copy editor, page designer, and executive editor at newspapers across the country.
My artistic journey began in 2006 when, at the age of 50, while living in New York and working as the Sunday editor at the Times Herald-Record, an 85,000-circulation daily in the mid-Hudson Valley, I discovered my passion for painting.
Please contact and book me through Petworks. Have an amazing day!
