I'm an artist living and working in Oakland. I have enjoyed painting dog portraits for over 14 years, and I am excited to create this website dedicated exclusively to my dynamic pet portraits. 

​

I am a painter by training and my typical style is based on abstract flowers. I focus on color and emotion in my work. 

​

The story of this series began when I was asked to paint dog portraits for an art show in San Francisco. While not my usual subject, I was pleased with the results, and they all sold out! From then on, I've had the privilege of collaborating with increasingly appreciative dog owners."

​

My artistic approach has evolved through creating these paintings, initially sparked by a commission from a friend for a portrait of her dog, Lucky, a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. In the process,I drew inspiration from Andy Warhol's dynamic, close-up portraits characterized by vibrant colors. I was pleased that the result really captured the personality of Lucky. I've had the fortune to paint numerous other dogs and would be honored to create a portrait of yours!"
