Art has always been an expression of what we value most.

I believe our animal companions and cohabitants belong at the heart of that conversation.

Every painting I create is a declaration that animals feel, they matter, and they are worthy of being immortalized with the highest quality and care the art world has to offer.

The Origin Story

I have a lifelong, and likely obvious, love for animals.

Not as subjects, but as the deeply conscious, emotionally rich creatures they are. Long before I ever painted one professionally, that love was quietly shaping my future.

As a kid I was drawing all the time. A hobby that grew up with me all the way to the Ringling College of Art and Design (the school Disney recruited from) where I studied illustration and fell in love with storytelling through art. I joined my classmates in the typical professional post-grad path, but a fancy job at Hallmark Cards confirmed what I was already starting to suspect: commercial art was not for me.

I came back to New York ready for my career to blossom and on a whim, posted a painting of a sphinx cat I created just for fun. It sold immediately and spurred a flurry of requests. One after another, from people who wanted their animals painted with the same care and seriousness historically reserved for human portraiture.

I’ve spent the 15 years following my love for animals in life and in art, and I’ve never been more certain this is the work I’m meant to do.

The Standards I Stand For

  • Portrait of a black and gray dog with a long face inside an oval gold frame.

    Curiosity Wrapped in Kindness:

    We are sharing this planet with deeply conscious, feeling creatures, and I believe fine art has a role to play in how the world understands and appreciates them.

  • A fox depicted in an oval frame with a black background.

    Quality is a Non-negotiable:

    Every painting is executed with archival materials and Old Master technique, built to last generation after generation.

  • Painting of a dog standing in water near the shore, with an ocean or lake in the background, inside an oval frame.

    Custom Means Human & One of a Kind:

    In true craftsmanship, there are no templates and no two pieces alike. Every commission is conceived and crafted entirely from scratch for the animals and people the work represents.

  • A detailed painting of a tiger's head with a focus on its face, surrounded by a gold oval frame.

    Beauty Beyond The Canvas:

    Each piece is an opportunity to deepen our connection to the animal world, and to experience the bliss that illuminates within ourselves.

  • A painting of a French Bulldog sitting inside an oval gold frame against a gray background.

    A Craft that Deserves to be Carried Forward:

    Fine art oil painting is a living tradition. I take my role seriously in preserving and practicing the 19th Century techniques I inherited, at the highest level.
