Pet Sketches - Jango

It's about time I shared some updates on the 2026 Pet Sketches. I usually post my updates on Facebook, and just got a little behind. July was a hard month for Calgary--a missing child found sadly deceased, wildfire smoke and a heatwave, ooof!

It was an asbsolute pleasure to draw Jango for his family. Jango crossed the rainbow bridge, but he was so loved!

Thank you Calgary Expo customers!

Thank you Calgary Expo attendees for a fabulous show!

It was great seeing old friends and meeting new people! Spirits were bright despite the wild weather 🙂

I'm unpacking and organizing orders today, but stay tuned!

If you placed an order, I'll be in touch soon!

Come See Me at Calgary Expo!

I'm at A249 in the Artist Alley and would love to talk to you about your pets--and maybe draw them too!

Pet Sketches - Tito

I fell in love with Tito as soon as I saw his pictures. He is a ridiculously handsome and photogenic cat! I knew right away I wanted to do his portrait last because I didn't want to feel rushed! His picture was a game-changer--one that scared me a little knowing that my skills had grown so much over the past year!

Pet Sketches - Binx Redux

Binx has been on my mind all year. Now and then I redo a portrait because I'm not 100% happy with it, and as my skills grew, I knew I could do a better job. Binx is one of the reasons I decided to move to drawing faces instead of the whole pet. Sometimes it's easy to get stuck on details and faces work so much better, don't they?

Pet Sketches - Chloe and Violet

A precious pair of puppers! For this drawing, I used a lot of light blue, peach and lavender intead of straight grey. I remember my high school art teacher saying white and transparent objects were about the colours you couldn't see.

Pet Sketches - Snooki

Snooki is such a cutie patootie, I had to draw her twice :-)
