How did you hone your craft?
My journey as a pet portrait artist has been shaped by passion, dedication, and a deep love for animals. I am primarily self-taught, developing my craft through years of hands-on practice and exploring different techniques to bring pets’ unique personalities to life. Along the way, I’ve enhanced my skills by attending both in-person and online art workshops, learning from talented artists and expanding my creative approach. Every custom pet portrait I create is a blend of artistry and heart — capturing not just the likeness, but the soul of your beloved companion. Whether it’s a dog, cat, or any cherished pet, my goal is to transform your favorite memories into timeless, painterly works of art that you’ll treasure forever.
What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
How to Get the Best Photo for Your Custom Pet Portrait A great pet portrait starts with a great reference photo! To help me create a custom painting that truly captures your pet’s personality, I recommend taking photos in natural light whenever possible — near a window or outdoors on a bright but cloudy day works beautifully. One of the best tips is to get down on your pet’s eye level. This creates a more engaging, lifelike perspective and allows me to capture the unique expression and soul in your pet’s eyes. Make sure your pet’s face is in sharp focus, with no heavy shadows, and try to avoid using the camera’s flash, as it can distort colors and cause red-eye. Take several shots so you have options — a relaxed, happy pet always makes for the most stunning portrait. The clearer and more detailed your photo, the more accurately I can transform it into a beautiful, painterly work of art you’ll treasure forever.
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
What I Want Pet Parents to Know Every portrait I create is made with heart, patience, and a deep love for animals. I understand how much your pets mean to you — they’re family — and my goal is to honor that special bond with a custom pet painting that captures not only their likeness but their unique spirit and personality. Whether I’m painting a playful pup, a curious cat, or a beloved companion who has crossed the rainbow bridge, I approach each piece with care and intention, ensuring your portrait becomes a treasured keepsake for years to come.
