She studied art in Europe for five years.
While her classmates painted still lifes and oil portraits,
she was sketching dogs mid-sneeze, rabbits with eye rolls, and cats wearing sunglasses.
One professor once asked, “Why is your style so… odd?”
She shrugged and said, “I just want to make people smile.”
After returning home, she didn’t chase galleries or commercial work.
Instead, she opened a tiny watercolor studio that draws pets—just pets.
But not the formal, ultra-realistic kind.
Her style? Slightly weird, oddly adorable, and full of personality.
-
A chaotic kitten in royal robes glaring like a tiny emperor.
-
A senior golden retriever in shades, head tilted like a retired rock star.
-
A grumpy hamster surfing a wave of sunflower seeds.
-
And a sad-faced bunny, lovingly painted as the Queen of Melancholia.
She doesn’t just replicate pet photos.
She asks for the blurry ones, the meme-worthy ones, the moment where your pet looked extra weird—but totally themselves.
Clients get it. They send her five facial expressions and write:
“Draw this version—peak gremlin mode.”
Or leave notes like,
“She’s camera-shy but super clingy. Please make her look like she’s plotting cuddles.”
Because she knows:
Goofy is honest. Goofy is love.
One of her most memorable commissions?
A portrait of a dog who had just passed away. He always looked mad, so she painted him standing upright, arms crossed, as if scolding.
His owner wrote: “That’s him. He always looked annoyed, but he loved harder than anyone.”
She replied: “Then I made him say: ‘You’re late again, human.’”
The painting now hangs by the front door.
And every time the owner walks in, they smile and whisper, “I’m home.”
That’s her art.
Not perfect. Not polished.
But weirdly, deeply familiar—
like the version of your pet only you understand.
