Working from a combination of photographs, my sketches and through fine attention to detail, I will create a life-like and memorable portrait of your pet. I prefer to meet my subjects in person as I like to make sketches, take my own photographs, and make color notations.
If not possible then I can work from photos from the client and information about your pets and companions to create a very personal memory for you.
All paintings and drawings are very realistic and in fine detail. If you are looking for something special for a loved one - an original would make a wonderful gift!

Dogs are an important part of our lives, they are best friends, loyal companions. A portrait of your dog shows all the things that it is to you and tells the story of a true friendship.

VI.) CHARCOAL/CHALK/PENCIL/PASTEL PORTRAITS:

Portraits in these techniques have their own special charme. Each equine or canine portrait is rendered on Mi-teinte paper, Velours paper or heavy acid-free Bristol paper using professional lightfast materials.
Since my early childhood I spend a lot of time drawing from life. To me, making drawings is one of the most pleasurble aspects of art.
Some of the drawings below are done from life, others solely from photos and some from a combination of using reference photos and sketches.There are several ways to immortalize your beloved horse or dog!
