I have always LOVED drawing portraits of any and all animals and people as well as illustrations for things like contests, iconographic posters, business card designs and colouring contests.
Singular Animal Portrait
I adopted this little old gal from my best friend's mom who had become too immobile to properly care for her. She missed her terribly so I created this portrait for her original mom:) Pastels on suede mat
Laddie is the fouth portrait I created for the same family that Bobby, Zephyr and Dakota came from. He was a real challenge being all white with those gloriously tall ears, but his mom was brought to tears at his likeness. Pastels on suede mat
As an ambassador of Okotoks preschool education since 1971, the Teachers and the members of the Parent Board of 2012, hired me to create an updated Facebook Cover Page.

Everyone who has had a pet go over the Rainbow Bridge, knows just how deep the pain goes. They take up so much room in our hearts, that they deserve to be recognized properly. Their portrait will live on forever and will feel like they never left your side:)

Multiple Member Portraits
These two feisty ponies spent every waking moment together- sharing their pasture with Cheyanne, Peanut and Vicky. Graphite on Stipple Paper 14 x 11
These three ladies represent the largest multiple animal portrait I've ever created. It was created using 5 different 4x6 photographs, and then enlarged. 22"x 30" on sanded Sennelier Paper. The client was overjoyed to find that I had managed to capture each of their spirits.
This client hired me to create an Alberta image of bees, with the iconic wild rose with her family motto of "Bee" Interesting' to be hung inside their kitchen.

Multiple animal portraits are by far one of the most challenging projects I've worked on but I love a challenge! The three horses you see here were created using four different pictures, all from differing distances. Here's a tip: The better the photos, the better for both of us! Read below to see how you can get what you need.
