When I was younger, all I wanted to be when I grew up was Santa Claus. Thankfully, my career goals have become a little more realistic over the years, but I still love the idea of working hard all year long and making people happy with my talents.


My passion for art began when my parents gave me my first box of crayons. Over the years that drive to create morphed into a love for pencil portraits. It wasn’t until college that I realized drawing was my calling in life. I had wonderful professors who nurtured my talent and gave me space to grow. After practicing daily for years, I decided to become a professional portrait artist.


But not just any portraits.


Pet portraits.


I believe that pets expand our hearts and bring immeasurable joy into our lives. That deserves to be captured. And celebrated. 


My promise is to draw your pet with the same amount of passion that prompted me to become an artist in the first place. People are often stunned by my artwork, mistaking portraits for photographs due to the meticulous detail.

  

I only create original, hand-drawn portraits worthy of hanging on walls. This is important because the internet is full of websites that sell computer-generated pet portraits pretending to be a drawn portrait. There are also portrait websites that outsource your commission to anonymous artists in developing countries. My best advice is to be diligent in your search for an artist to perfectly capture what makes your pet so special.


Thank you for your time and interest. It’s an honor to have you visit my site. Please feel free to check out my portfolio of past projects here.


I was born to draw.
