ART
"Through my art, I celebrate the unique bond between individuals and their cherished family members and pets. My approach is to emphasize each subject's distinct characteristics, by adding rich contrast to accentuate details, markings, and expressions. This method not only captures their physical appearance but also brings their personality to life, creating a deeper, more meaningful portrayal."
My Story
​
I was born in Houston, Texas now living in Chicago, IL.
I always admired art and loved to doodle, but only recently did I start drawing more seriously.
I never knew how far it would take me until 2019 when I was commissioned to draw my first charcoal portrait and it took off from there.
​
I'm a Huge animal lover! Through out my life we had many rescued dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, gerbils, hamsters and now my two sweet Doberman's, Nina and Chief.
Growing up I was more obsessed with horses and worked hard volunteering at equestrian centers when I was younger so I could always be around them.
​
Because of the the unconditional love animals can show, and how hilarious their honesty can be, my pets have always been my saving grace during the hard times.
So it's important to me that each portrait is as special and unique
as the relationship is between you and your companion, and your family!
​
Looking back at my work then to now, I have come a long way and I am proud and excited that I am able to turn others family members into beautiful Art.
​
I did not go to school for this, I am self taught learning new techniques every day, advancing with every piece. Almost anything I see, I can draw!
