Your Pet is Special!
You know that better than anyone. You also know that a photograph, although it may accurately portray your pet's appearance, usually can't quite capture his or her personality, spirit and inner qualities.
As a pet portrait artist, I take pride in creating artwork that conveys not merely the physical likeness of your pet but also the individuality that makes each one unique.
My greatest pleasures in life besides my family, have always come from the love of my animals. The ability to capture their love and spirit in a painting amazes me still. Each time I begin to see the painting come to life I am thrilled. I have been painting for quite a few years, and have worked with a range of subject matter including figures and landscapes, in a realistic style and color scheme. When I discovered how to combine my love of animals with my love of art, I was ecstatic.
To begin the process of ordering a commissioned piece, please call or email me with your specific requests. I work from photos you send me, via the internet or mail. Turn around time can vary, but generally takes 6 weeks. During the holiday season, please allow for additional time.

Pricing and Ordering Information
- 50% nonrefundable deposit is required when commission is agreed upon, and before painting begins. At that time we will also discuss turnaround time. I will email a photo of the progress, which will give you an opportunity to suggest any changes you may wish me to make.
- My medium is soft chalk pastel.
- Your portrait will be painted on acid free pastel paper to ensure the portrait retains it's true colors.
- Shipping cost is separate.
- Your portrait will be sent by courier, unframed, and packed flat.
- Usually I work from my customers' photographs. I'll return the photos to you with the finished portrait. If you prefer not to send photographs, you can scan them at 200 dpi, save them in JPEG format at a medium setting, and email them to me.
- Time frame is generally 4-6 weeks to complete from the time I receive the photographs. This can vary according to my current workload. I suggest ordering at least a couple months before holiday or special occasion. Once completed, I photograph the portrait and will email it to you for your approval. Upon receipt of balance due, your painting will be shipped to you.
