"I can’t even believe how perfect my custom portrait by Amy came out. I am beyond impressed. Amy paid attention to specific details of my bunny and also captured the essence of her personality. If you are interested in a custom painting of your furry loved one, I would recommend Amy x10!"
— Mandy L.
"Amy is truly amazing!!! Not only is she ridiculously talented but she was so patient with me and my special requests for my painting. I can't wait to see my husband's face when I give it to him for Christmas. Our sweet boxer passed away in September, and now we will always have her with us in our home thanks to Amy. Thank you again, Amy!!! :)"

I honestly love hearing about people's pets and how much joy they bring. The more my customers share about their pet, the better I can understand, relate and feel the energy of the pet, which adds to the energy of the painting.
Spirit Animal Painting Classes
Join me in experiencing the stress-relieving benefits of painting, while having a fun evening of creativity! In this 2 hour class, you can let your mind be free and your creative side flourish. You will have an opportunity to tap into the Spirit Animal world, and discover how painting animals can bring a sense of peace and relaxation to your mind and spirit.
I will pre-sketch the animal image for you on the 12x12 size canvas, allowing you to focus less on the technical skill, and more so on the joy of painting. In this judgement-free zone, I will guide you through each step of the painting.
Feel free to email me to find out pricing and availability for in-home or in-office workshops, great for team building, birthday parties, ladies nights, bachelorette events, or just for fun! Pricing ranges from $35-45 depending on set up/location and number of guests.
