Whether it’s my own pup or a larger beast, I love capturing the character in the eyes and painting textures of the bodies of different animals.

The artist and her subject.
Nike Portrait Acrylic on Canvas
Fierce buffalo coming from dusty shadows and highlights of blue smoke. He finds his home in an office space of a company with a vision to “be a buffalo.”
Squirrel painted in a stained glass cathedral window style in a coffee shop bearing the name of a town rodent, “Black Squirrel Coffee & Crepery”.
I have often seen Hugo as playful in person as he is in this painting. Painting was rendered after an image of the Dickerson Park Zoo elephant splashing around in a water hole, and creating a rainbow from the droplets.
