I began painting dog portraits when first one friend, and then another, lost their dogs and were grieving. I had known both dogs and was also heartbroken. As a way to say goodbye and manage my own sadness, I painted their portraits and gifted them to their owners. They were not only touched, but began telling their friends. And those friends told other friends. Before I knew it, my hobby became a heartfelt business. For me, it truly is "Where Art Meets Affection”. What I love about painting pet portraits is the process of falling in love with my subject before paint ever touches a brush.

I adore painting my 4 legged subjects and will do my very best to ensure your happiness with the finished painting! Just email me at theresa@theresasstudio.com to initiate your project.
