My Artistic Style

I create expressive, artistic interpretations rather than photorealistic portraits. These qualities create a liveliness in a subject that is part of feeling something unique in a painting. My goal is to offer my clients work that is unique and inspiring for their loved ones. My work is influenced by artists such as

Frank Duveneck

Cecilia Beaux

Anna Bilinska

Contemporary artists I admire are Stephen Bauman, Felicia Forte, Peter Van Dyck, and Tom Root to name a few examples.

If you prefer highly detailed, photorealistic work, I'm happy to recommend other artists who specialize in that style., Thank you for considering me to create a portrait of your beloved pet. Commissioning art is a unique journey of trust and creativity. I strive to make the process enjoyable and collaborative while creating a meaningful piece that captures your pet's spirit.I can’t wait to hear from you.
