About Me

 

As an artist, I am formally trained in traditional Fine Arts. After college, I decided to venture into the realm of digital painting and got a Wacom tablet. Loving the beauty of animals and the joy they bring people, I began to digitally paint various animals. From ravens to horses and even some reptiles. One day on Facebook I read about a puppy named Bruno and it touched my heart. He sustained injuries and needed help. Bruno was being cared for by Castaway Pet Rescue and they were trying to raise funds for his ongoing care. Desperately wanting to help I thought of a unique way to raise funds for him. I thought I could help him using my talents. I decided to make a pet portrait of Bruno for the benefit of the rescue. Thinking that the rescue could then auction it off to raise funds for his care. The idea was a success and was the catalyst for the idea of making portraits of people’s pets. Today I make a living doing pet portraits. It has allowed me to continue to use my work to help rescues in various creative ways. A puppy named Bruno needing help got me started doing pet portraits for a living. Every day I get to do what I love and give back to help the animals I love to paint.
