<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm a versatile artist specializing in pet portraits and fine art paintings. I've had over thirty years of experience in creating custom artwork and design. I paint and draw using a wide range of media: watercolor, acrylic, oil, digital painting, graphite and pen and ink.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once you choose the subject of your custom painting, we'll work together to make it a reality. Will it be a portrait of your child, a favorite pet or animal, a house portrait or a treasured family memory? I'll closely involve you in the creative process throughout the various stages of painting. With your suggestions and input, every detail will be brought to perfection. It's great fun for you to see your painting develop, and working together in this way we'll create the exact "masterpiece" YOU have in mind!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Capturing the personality, expression and likeness of people and pets in a way that comes alive from the canvas is my most challenging and rewarding work as an artist. Painting is my passion; I'm committed to creating the most striking and elegant paintings that I possibly can for my customers, who attest to my patience, close attention to detail and ability to please!</span><br />
