My story....
Animals have always been my passion, in life and in art. They inspire me daily, whether it's a songbird flitting through the trees or deer galloping across the field, or my dog lying in the sun.
I started drawing when I was young, and after trying many, many mediums, I found that my greatest joy was creating works of animals via acrylic and watercolor paintings, as well as colored pencil drawings.
So when we adopted Leif, our rescue dog, I decided to paint him. During that process, I realized how much I love painting dogs, and decided to start offering pet portraits.
Now, I continue to hone my skills as I prepare for college and spend my free time painting wildlife, going on adventures, and spending time with my dog.
My goal with my portraits isn't just to paint your pets, but to capture the spirit and soul of your precious babies. Anybody with a pet knows how influential they are in our lives, and how time with them is cruelly short. They bring so much unconditional love and joy that are not easily forgotten.
A portrait is a way to commemorate them, whether they are passed or still with us on the journey of life. I paint them in nature because it if often where they are most happy.
Providing this service for people is a great joy and a huge honor that I take very seriously. Seeing my clients tears of joy is what makes it so worth it.
But don't take it from me...
"Sedona was such a pleasure to work with. Professional and friendly. The finished product (a portrait of my recently departed chocolate lab) completely melted my heart. It wasn't just a painting of my dog, Sedona captured the essence of my Bella. She is just so talented and obviously puts her heart and soul into her work. I would highly recommend." -TL
