~ABOUT ME~
I live in Penetanguishene, Ontario (Canada) with my sister and a cat named George.
At only three years old, I decided to become an artist when I grew up. I've been teaching myself how to paint ever since. It was just a hobby at first, and now my real job.
I started off by painting portraits of people. In the 1980s I began painting animals, too, most of them dressed in clothes like the ones I wore as a kid.
I had a babysitter who would knit sweaters for me, a grandmother who bought me fancy party dresses, and a mom who sewed the most wonderful Halloween costumes for my sister and me. All of these things look pretty cute on my cat and dog models, I think.
Over the years I've painted a great many custom portraits, and have loved working closely with each and every pet parent who has hired me. It always makes me happy to capture a cherished cat or dog in a painting that will last forever.
