These are acrylic paintings on salvaged wood. Some are scrolled out and painted, others are painted directly onto the wood. Contact me if you have a beloved pet you would like to immortalize.

Good morning, Jean! Writer, Poet, Botanist, Gardner, Chef, Painter….what don’t you do expertly?! These portraits are beautiful and will become cherished art in a family’s history. The portrait you did of my sweet wee dog PD is on a stand on my desk. Thank you!
You create Art in so many different ways and make the world more memorably beautiful as a result. Now more than ever it is deeply appreciated. Thank you! Xoxo
A big thank you to you, John Higgins. My friend, my mentor, my lodestar.
