Artist Statement 

My art is rooted in connection—especially the deep, often wordless bond between humans and animals. I work primarily in pastels and watercolor pencils, which allow me to capture the softness, emotion, and spark in my subjects’ eyes. Whether it’s a beloved pet or a wild creature, I aim to portray not just the likeness, but the soul.

Though I’ve dabbled in every medium from sculpture to digital, my heart has always returned to drawing. Animals have an honesty and presence that moves me, and I try to mirror that authenticity in every piece I create. I want people to feel something when they see my work—whether it’s joy, comfort, or even a happy tear.

Art has been a constant thread through my life. I was one of those kids who could draw before they could tie their shoes. I pursued graphic design professionally, but making fine art—especially animal art—has always been my first love. Now, I’m embracing that passion fully, and it feels like coming home.

After decades as a creative media designer with ck2design, I’ve joyfully returned to my true passion, bringing pets to life in rich, heartfelt pastels. Every portrait is a one-of-a-kind tribute, capturing the unique quirks and spirit of your furry friend with warmth and personality. Whether it’s a goofy grin, a soulful gaze, or a touch of regal charm, I create timeless artwork that turns cherished memories into lasting treasures. 

Crafting Stunning Pastel Portraits: My Artistic Process

Step 1: Initial Sketching

Every masterpiece begins with a simple sketch. I start by capturing the essence of your pet, focusing on their unique features and personality. This stage is all about getting the proportions right and laying the groundwork for the vibrant colors to come.

Step 2: Layering Colors

Once the sketch is complete, I dive into the world of pastels. Layer by layer, I apply rich, vibrant colors, blending them to create depth and texture. This is where your pet truly starts to come to life on the canvas!

Step 3: Final Touches

The final touches are where the magic happens! I refine details, enhance highlights, and ensure every stroke contributes to the overall harmony of the portrait. The result? A stunning, lifelike representation of your beloved pet that you'll cherish forever.
