Pet Project
Prompted by a fascination with my cat, Jakota, I began painting her in 2021. She was with me on the worst night of my life, closely curled up beside me. With each purr she calmed me a little more and I will always be indebted to her for that. Of course she has many sides to her personality; she is also fun, playful, and can be a bit of a primadona when her needs are not being met. When people started sharing their pet stories with me I began to see that they are an integral part of our modern families. The importance they have in our lives make them fitting subjects for portraiture. maybe even more so than some of our human relatives. If you'd like to commission a pet portrait please contact me.
