They’re More Than Pets — They’re Family And That’s Exactly Why I Paint Them

They’re More Than Pets — They’re Family And That’s Exactly Why I Paint Them

Pets are more than animals — they’re family.
That’s why I don’t just paint portraits… I paint love, loyalty, and the deep bond we share with our furry (or feathered) companions.

Whether you’re celebrating a current pet or remembering a beloved friend, each custom portrait is created with prayer, intention, and heart. It’s more than a keepsake — it’s a tribute to the life they lived and the joy they gave.

The Seed of Creation

The Seed of Creation

From a young age, I was drawn to art, but over time, I realized that this passion was more than just a hobby—it was a gift from God.

Through every brushstroke and every piece I create, I feel a divine purpose: not just to express myself, but to connect with others, inspire, and share the beauty I see in the world. Art has become a way for me to reflect God's love and creativity, and I believe that each of us is given unique gifts to nurture and share with the world.

Embracing Autumn: A Season of Change, Gratitude, and Purpose

As autumn envelops us in its vibrant hues, it offers a powerful reminder of the beauty in change. Join me in reflecting on our lives, letting go of what no longer serves us, and embracing our unique journeys. Recently, a family trip to Tate's Farm inspired me to capture the essence of fall in my art, reminding us all that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
