Art + Animals = My Happy Place 😁

CPLewis.jpg

I am an obsessed dog mom with a lifelong desire to connect with any animal I encounter, even the ones I’m allergic to… I have found so much joy in painting animals and capturing their personalities. I would love to share that joy with you by painting your pets!

In addition to loving animals, I found that while studying Art History at university I was particularly interested in the history of architecture. I’ve been able to foster that interest by creating detailed illustrations of houses and other buildings in watercolor + ink.
