About Me.
My journey into animal portraiture started during a bout with chicken pox at age 15. I was on prednisone, being unable to sleep, I turned to drawing to distract and entertain myself in the quiet solitude of the night when everyone else slept. The first one was a raccoon in a tree. I later won an award for that drawing. But life gets in the way and I didn't begin creating pet portraits seriously until 15 years later. I did a few portraits in oil pastels and friends began commissioning me to do their pets. Word of mouth kept me pretty busy but again, life got in the way. I branched out into sculpting and still life and mixed media work. I was in two galleries, locally at Cole Pratt Gallery here in New Orleans and in the 1910 Gallery in Jackson Ms.
I did a bronze statuette for the Jazz and Heritage Festival which they used as their award for 11 years. And a painting for the poster for Draught Horse Society. I always kept my hand in pet portraiture and have done so many I have lost count!
Now that my kids are grown and I actually have the time to dedicate to it, I am hoping to really dive into this passion for animal portraiture in a more focused and deliberate way I hope to paint many, many, more of our beloved and cherished pets. I have really enjoyed having my memorial portraits of the pets I have loved over the years. It is wonderful to still be able to see their faces and remember them. I look forward to capturing and showcasing your Fur or Feather Baby.
Thank you for your interest,
Kelly
