Paws & Portraits

Before custom pet portraits became a part of my business, they started as heartfelt gifts. I began by painting beloved pets for friends and family; each one was a labor of love, filled with care and detail.

I still remember the joy of handing someone a portrait for the very first time and watching their eyes light up. These early pieces were where I found my passion for capturing not just a likeness, but the spirit of an animal.
