At the time, I had just left a stressful management job, and I had some soul searching to do. I made a “vision board” where home was surrounded by animals, art, and nature. The idea seemed far out of reach, but I put on my big girl pants and went about figuring out how to make my vision a reality. I’d studied art at Philadelphia College of Art decades before, but hadn’t done anything with my training for a very long time.
I dusted off my skills and got to work creating a concept that makes a statement I feel deep in my heart; Animals are as worthy of respect and honor as humans are.
The part of my work I enjoy the most….is interacting with people who love their pets as much as I love mine. And the animals? Well, I hear some deeply touching stories told by those who love them most. I am honored to be able to capture their essence in portraits that will grace walls long after the animals’ passing.
