CREATIVE STATEMENT
The firsT pet portrait I painted was of my dog Tipsy Tart some years ago. After she passed I treasured it so much that I wanted to create portraits for others who love their animals as much as I do. With a background in children's book illustration and years of experience drawing and painting animals, I create my pet portraits by hand in a cute and loose painterly style. They are not "realistic" portraits but rather capture the personalities of pets in a fun and illustrative way. They are painted on paper and shipped to your door, ready to frame.
Q&A
What is your most memorable commission?
I am still waiting for a really weird pet to illustrate. So far besides cats and dogs, I have only been asked to do a Chinchilla.
Which do you prefer: dogs or cats?
Dogs.
Which is your favorite breed?
Any scruffy small mixed breed - the "uglier", the better.
