<H2 style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><SPAN style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)">Animal
portraits so realistic, you'll be truly amazed at the captured
essence.</SPAN><BR></H2>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; DISPLAY: block" class=paragraph><FONT size=3> Anyone with a camera can capture a beloved animal on
film. Granted, some efforts turn out better than others. But capturing that same
animal on paper or canvas takes talent. Well, I have talent, and am certainly
grateful for that. But there are plenty of animal artists who have talent,
right? So, what makes me so special? <BR><BR> I am gifted with
the ability to capture the animal's essence; the sparkle in its eye, if you
will. This is an extension of my deep love and respect for animals of all kinds.
I've always felt connected with them. And so it is quite natural for me to relay
those sentiments in my art, as I also exemplify this nature in my longstanding
Vegan (i.e. Do no harm) lifestyle. <BR><BR> I have been a
professional artist starting as far back as 1980, when I sold my first dog
portrait, rendered in colored pencil on an 8" x 10" piece of paper. Since then,
I've designed, drawn, and illustrated hundreds of animal depictions, some
whimsical, some realistic; each an absolute joy to produce. My art can be found
in private collections and, on occasion, at galleries and restaurants. Some
designs made it into the retail markets, selling both nationally (in the USA)
and internationally, as gift and home decor items. I have enjoyed frequent
freelance art assignments from American Greetings Corporation (in Cleveland,
OH), as well as securing a licensed artist title, being represented by Creatif
Licensing Corp (in Mt. Kisco, NY). Both opportunities have been good to me over
the years. <BR><BR> It is only recently that I have devoted my
talent to animal portraiture exclusively. To further enhance my skills, I am
currently taking portrait painting classes from a local master painter and
instructor, Bill Kufahl. My progress is evident. With the addition of this
training to my already seasoned experience, I am happy to say that my clients
can expect to feel fully confident they've chosen a top-notch professional art
service that offers some interesting "extras". Of course, it goes without saying
that I aim for complete satisfaction from every client, upon presenting them
with a one-of-a-kind art representation of their beloved companion animal(s)...
or other esteemed creature. That's the happiest of endings!<BR></FONT></DIV>
