About
YOU WANT THIS DONE RIGHT.
This isn't just any portrait. It's a memory you can't replace — your dog who's been with you through everything, your cat who's been your constant companion, a bond you never want to forget.
You need someone who gets what's at stake.
A PHOTOGRAPHER'S EYE. A PAINTER'S HANDS.
I've spent 20+ years as a professional photographer — which means I know how to see animals. Not just their face. Them. Their personality. The tilt of the head. The look they give you when they think you're not watching.
But photography alone wasn't enough. I fell in love with what paint can do — the richness, the color, the way a brushstroke can make something feel alive.
Now I bring both together. Every portrait is mixed-media oil on canvas, built from your photos and your stories, with real oil paint applied by hand. A photographer's precision. The soul of fine art.
