We Have A Lot In Common, You And I 

I know what it's like to bring a pet into your life. 

From the love we share to the close bonds we form, our pets are precious to us. My most precious love is a barn-born cat called Madeline, a ball of fur and fleas no bigger than the palm of my hand when she came into my life. I remember the first time I saw her, how it felt when I looked into her eyes. I was hooked heart and soul.

For me, moments and memories with Maddie are priceless. And, while I have hundreds of images and thousands of memories fading in photographs buried deep in a drawer, on my phone or tucked away in the back of my mind, I wanted something more to remember her by. I wanted something that would hold a special place in my heart and home that I could connect with every day. But what?

Hi There, My Name Is James

a professional artist, animal advocate and pet companion.

 

I specialize in new, distinctive soft-style pet portraits for people like you who want to remember their pets in a way as soft, simple and sweet as the love they share.  

How?

From photographs you supply and stories you share I craft a custom portrait that not only capture the subtle nuances of your pet’s personality but also the moments, memories and emotions you share to preserve that deep connection you hold with your beloved companion.

So how do you keep all those moments, memories and emotions you share alive?

It's a question I struggled with as well.

​Just imagine walking into your home and seeing your pet’s  portrait hanging on your wall, those soulful eyes peering out or that mischievous grin catching your eye triggering a sweet smile. 

You won't have to image, if we work together.

From photographs you supply and stories you share we can craft your personal pet portrait that not only capture the subtle nuances of your pet’s personality but also the moments, memories and emotions you share to preserve that deep connection you hold with your beloved companion.

Now my work is not for everyone, but for sentimental souls who crave something more than a quick click, a funny filter, and a short scroll, a hand-crafted portrait is an enduring tangible testament to love and so much more than pixels on a page. 

In a world driven by mass production and digital technology, my work stands out for the uniqueness and authenticity that comes with art lovingly crafted with my own own hands.

Yes, it’s a commitment and investment in the incomparable bond you share with your four-legged family member, but one which will return endless rewards now and in the future.

If you’re ready to go beyond the digital morass and into a world where your pet’s personality leaps off the wall to tug at your heartstrings, let's talk.

Time passes quickly

don't let your moments, memories and feelings slip away.

A little less than a year ago I asked a client why they decided to commission a portrait. I was intrigued by his answer.

​"Just imagine. What if we couldn’t recall the moments, the memories, the beautiful experiences we share with our pets? The hundreds of images and thousands of memories we have are fading in photographs buried deep in a drawer, on our phone or tucked away in the back of our minds. I didn’t want them to slip away. Now, with a beautiful portrait on my wall to connect with every I'll never have to worry that will happen."

​If you are looking for, longing for a softer image and deeper emotional connection with your pet through a portrait as beautiful, unique and timeless as the love you share don't wait too long.
