Animal Portrait Commissions

I love seeing animals “come to life” on my drawing board. It’s as if they’re temporarily part of my family and I feel such joy seeing them on my easel. Here are some examples of my pet portraits.

Commission Testimonial

"The finished pieces were beyond what I could have imagined. She not only drew our dog perfectly but you can also feel his personality come to light in the drawings. The kids have said this is the best gift ever!"

Terri (Owner of Harley)

People Portrait Originals & Commissions

Photos of my children inspire many of my drawings. In addition to preserving some of my own memories, I hope my drawings can help others relate to moments with their own children and grandchildren. I also accept commissions for people portraits, which can make great gifts!

Skyscape Originals

Early morning bike rides and evening walks provide inspiration for my skyscapes. I love the fresh air of early mornings and the anticipation of how beautiful the sunrise might be. Seeing the pinks, purples, oranges and yellows that are often visible along the horizon is a great way to start or finish the day.
