ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Allison. I began painting pet portraits in 2015 when it was just me, my husband, and our dogs in a little Brooklyn apartment. Fast forward to the present and we’re back in our hometown in Northwestern Pennsylvania with two kids and a goofy boxer. When I’m not spending time with my wonderful kids and husband, I love painting pet portraits and other watercolor pieces!

Pet Portraits Update

Painting pet portraits is the most rewarding career I’ve ever had! I’m happy to say that I continue to offer custom portraits, despite a very demanding schedule. However, because of time restrictions, I offer them on a limited basis. When they’re restocked, the portraits sell out fast!
