Animal Connections Series
This ongoing series of animal studies started out as a way to shine a spotlight on animals that we share deep emotional and spiritual connections with as humans. It was especially important to me to bring a spotlight to animals that are often overlooked, feared, or misunderstood such as owls, bats, snakes, and wolves.
Created digitally in photoshop with a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet, I work to bring out the colorful personalities and regal bearings of the animals that we all too often take for granted. Dozens of layers go into each image to bring depth to each piece, emulating watercolor paintings. Printed on high-quality archival paper, these prints are made to last and bring joy, awareness, and appreciation.
Suggest an Animal!
Is there an animal or familiar you’d like to see included in this series? Fill out the form on the right to suggest a creature for me to add! I’m always looking for new inspiration and ideas and love to see which animals people connect to.
Feel free to add any anecdotes, species or subspecies information, fun facts, or inspo pics that come to mind!
If you’d like, you can sign up for email updates on your suggestion to see if it’s accepted, in progress, or completed. This way, you can be among the first to know when the print is ready and order it for yourself if interested. In the case of duplicate suggestions, I’ll do my best to keep track of everyone and create an email list for that print.
Please keep in mind that this is different from a commission and is separate from pet portraits. If you’d like to commission a special piece, please fill out the form on my contact page!
