    About Custom Pet Portraits

    A photograph shows what your pet looks like. A painting shows who they are.

    While I work from your photographs, my focus is your subject's true spirit: the soft tilt of a head, a sideways glance, or a familiar posture at the door. I use bold, lively brushstrokes and vivid palettes to infuse each canvas with genuine motion and warmth. Every portrait is a one-of-a-kind original.

    They make unforgettable gifts for birthdays, holidays, and new adoptions, and a lasting tribute to pets who are no longer with us.

    The paintings shown here were commissioned by clients and are shared as examples of my work. 

    "I gauge the success of my paintings by the degree of tears that occur when people unwrap them. It's funny to say that tears are always my goal, but how many other things can we do in this world that bring people to tears of joy?"

    "People tell me the paintings I do of their pets are the best gifts they've ever given or received, and for me that is really gratifying."

    Jane Roberts

    What Clients Say

    "I know nothing about art… nada, but I recognize soul. And I see you repeatedly capturing that intangible, inexplicable essence in your subjects. Brava!!"

    L. Amburgey, San Francisco

    "I just got the package and opened it. I cannot even start telling you how beautiful those are. I have no words. You captured Abby so beautifully. I'm so forever grateful."

    A. Wright, Alpharetta, GA

    "Your painting is now the absolute centerpiece of my living room. Every single person who walks into my house raves about it. Working with you was such a breeze, and you can truly feel the love and care put into this piece. Thank you so much!"

    B. Henry, Chattanooga, TN
