I’m a pet portrait artist who loves turning your furry friends into works of art! From custom commissions to live sketches at markets and events, I capture the personality and charm that makes each pet so special. I also host Paint Your Pet parties and workshops—perfect for birthdays, team outings, or just a fun get-together. Whether you want to paint a classic portrait, a whimsical scene, or even your pet on an ornament or keepsake, I’ll guide you step by step so everyone goes home with a piece they’re proud of.
I’m also a Certified Bob Ross Instructor®, which means I’ve been trained in Bob’s famous “wet-on-wet” oil painting technique. I offer workshops and classes for all levels, live painting demonstrations, and even painting auctions where one of my landscapes can be a one-of-a-kind fundraiser item. My goal is to make painting fun, stress-free, and accessible—just like Bob did—whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or looking for a creative new experience with friends.
