Happy World Art Day!

I'm so happy to be able to share my art with you all. It is great to have a creative outlet to help focus and slow down. I hope that everyone has a chance to create some art today! I would love to see it 💜

Working on something a bit different in my free time, and loosely following a lovely tutorial by Helen Carter. My first time working on black paper and my first floral piece. I am learning a lot! It has been a nice challenge, and I think more florals will be in my future. 💜

Happy First Day of Spring! 🐝

So nice to see the bees out again, all the plants & flowers waking up in the garden, and hearing all the lovely bird songs. 💚

I received word that the beautiful Faye had passed yesterday, so it seemed only fitting to reshare her portrait in her memory ❤️💔 My deepest condolences to her owners.

I can't believe it has been 5 years since I drew the gorgeous Betty! 😍

Betty was a puppy from my first boxer litter. It's always extra special when I am asked to draw one of the dogs that I bred. Betty has since passed away and I know this memorial portrait is cherished even more now. ❤

A little throwback to the portrait I drew of the darling French Bulldog, Herbie. I was so happy to be able to create a lasting, cherished memory of their heart dog. 💙

His squished little face always makes me smile.

Happy New Year!

I had the pleasure of drawing ten beautiful dogs, one donkey, and some honey bees in 2025. I was also honored to have my honey bee drawing featured in Ann Kullberg's Color Magazine.

I wanted to thank each and every one of you that has supported me this last year, and the years before, from commissioning portraits, purchasing prints, liking/commenting/sharing my posts, following my pages, referring others to me, and wishing me well. I appreciate you all so much. 🥰

I'm excited to see where 2026 takes me and looking forward to drawing more beautiful animals. ❤️✍️🏻

I thought it would be fitting to end the last day of the year with the last portrait I drew for the year. ❤️✍️🏻

Here is the completed portrait of the adorable Milo 😍 I enjoyed every minute drawing his sweet face. I loved all his grey hairs, speckled throughout his fur. A distinguished little gentleman.

Milo's sweet little face is starting to shine through. 😍

It's always so fun to watch them come to life on my paper, with each stroke of my pencil. ✍️🏻
