Etsy is an awesome, fantastic place to lose yourself for hours at a time. It's also awesome because it allows me to sell my artwork and merchandise to anyone anywhere! Etsy also connected me with Amber, an invaluable employee at Shady Brook Animal Hospital in Magnolia. When Amber started working there, one of her first goals was to redecorate the Clinic's front room (office & waiting area). She set out looking for art work on Etsy, and somehow stumbled on my page! A few emails later, in November, I met with Amber and began to sketch out an arrangement for 15 pet portraits in their office. The fun part is that the pets I painted belong to employees of Shady Brook, so they get to see their pets' faces smiling at them while they work!
Today we hung up all the portraits in the clinic (SO EXCITING)! It felt so good to see them all hung!

So, as you can see, I've been VERY busy! My studio space is small, and all these portraits were hung up on the walls around my desk at one point so their protective varnish could dry thoroughly... it felt like so many eyes boring into me as I worked!
Prints are available for all these portraits. Just check out my Etsy shop or contact me.
I have another fun project coming up (not portrait related), so stayed tuned!
