My Story

I took the plunge and left my office job 3 years ago now to follow my passion. My friend from work, Ann, had recently lost her dog and I asked if I could paint him, his name was Buddy.  I did not expect to get such a picture with long hair and so many colours…. I was a little intimidated but I stepped up to the challenge.  This was my first pet portrait commission, and it took me about 6 months to complete, as I wanted to do a good job.  I was so nervous about showing her the final product, but she loved it and posted it to  her facebook right away.  I thought I was going to die, she had a lot of followers, but people’s reactions were great.  We traded services when I gave her the painting to create a business website for me, and I have never looked back.  A few commissions trickled in from there, and a few became a lot, and here I am with a full time business and loving what I do.  I have Buddy to thank for all of it.  When I'm not sketching and drawing, I also look after dogs during my workday.  Can't get enough of them!  My hobbies outside of this - I love making jewelry, camping and hiking when I get the chance!

My Background

I am proud to be part Metis, and as far as back as I can remember, I have loved to draw and paint.  I've always felt a connection with animals and nature.  I never considered to go into a full time art career at the time.  Getting back to it as an adult it brought me so much happiness and fulfillment I decided to get serious about it.  I have taken many classes and currently have professional artists as mentors for all my work, I am always looking to improve and learn new methods.

My Medium

I use a variety of mediums, such as pastels, coloured pencils,  and acrylics.  I don't want to limit myself, and plan to dabble with most mediums during my art career.  I do most of my pet portraits in pastel, because I love how soft the fur looks with this medium.  Each idea manifests in its own individual style.

I paint all kinds of animals, not just dogs! I will make sure  that it is perfect and portrays everything special just for you.
