I’ve always dreamt of a way to support myself through art, and have attempted at different points in my life to make it happen. Strangely enough, the pandemic brought this dream to fruition.What began as a way to fill my time and earn money for charity has blossomed into a small business. I now take commissions to draw or paint people and pet portraits. It is because of you that I am succeeding to see a lifelong dream fulfilled and making so many people smile in the process. Thank you for your support. View more posts
