What year did you begin serving pets?

2006

How did you hone your craft?

I've been creating pet portraits for over 10 years, and as my profession for 3. As with all arts, practise is the golden ingredient, so I've taken every opportunity to take not only commissions but also portrait courses, oil painting seminars and life drawing classes. I hold a degree in design from Emily Carr University and am an active member of the Canadian Federation of Artists.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

If you're taking pictures for a painted portrait, use natural light. For kitties, snap a pic while they're gazing out a window. For pups, tie the leash 6 feet away from you and toss a few treats for a smile!

What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!

I have the flexibility to make a painted portrait so much more than the reference photo. The purpose of getting a painting instead of a photo should be what hte artist can bring to the subject, and I invite you to look through my gallery to see examples that show just that.
