What's New?

March 2009

I have donated a custom animal portrait to the annual PAWS Wild Night dinner and auction taking place on Saturday March 14th, 2009. I will have the portrait of Elsie on display that night. This event raises much needed funds to support the lifesaving work of PAWS. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit www.paws.org.
Thank you to Sara Medford, the winning bidder of my custom portrait at Wild Night 2008. The portrait of her dog Bosco can be viewed in my dog portrait gallery.
