Painted pet portraits are important because it's not everyday you can get your cat and dog to pose together! I got to take a break from painting and lounge on the porch with the pups, Maggie and Roscoe. Check out my story to meet them! // Last chance to order a family portrait or pet painting for Father's Day! Email me if you have any questions about ordering!

Hey Y'all! I don't love being in front of the camera, but the #jkinstachallenge asks us to tell you all a little bit about ourselves! P.S. This photo was taken by @jessicaleephotography a month or two ago and does not show the stress induced current zit under my nose. You are a PEACH, Jessica! Here are a few fun facts about moi!⠀ ⠀ 1. My husband and I are going to Santorini, Greece at the beginning of June. We are SO excited and would love any travel tips anyone has to offer! ⠀ ⠀ 2. Today was our last day of school! Along with painting and running my business, I have been teaching art for the past three years at the same awesome little community school in Knoxville. My side of the hallway has had pack up our entire classrooms into little boxes because we are getting new floors. YAY! I am realizing how much STUFF it takes to teach art... 112 boxes to be exact! Even though this has been a ton of work to pack up, I cant wait to be able to be able to create a very organized space once our floors are in.⠀ ⠀ 3. This last summer, I wrote and illustrated a children's book, "D is for Dog: Dogs A-Z." I am leaning towards making a goal to create another book this summer, but inspiration has not struck yet! Any ideas are welcome! ⠀ ⠀ What are you looking forward to most this summer?!

I think it would be my dog's best day ever if they got to ride in the back of a truck. Anyone else's dogs LOVE getting to ride in the car?

You guys... I watched Kimmy Schmidt today until Netflix asked me if I was "still there." I call that a win! Have you seen the new season yet? What should be next on the binge list?

I loved capturing this family painting to honor the loss of the sweet horse, Oliver. I have only gone horseback riding once, but that was enough to see how easy it would be to fall in love with these creatures.

This is one of my favorite paintings I have made because it features a bridge very near and dear to my heart! I remember riding my bicycle from my dorm over this bridge to buy art supplies or to lay in the grass at the park. Chattanooga is magical place!

Charlie is ready for spring! I'm just glad I am not allergic to painting flowers. Between all of the gardening and dust from starting to pack up my classroom, my allergies have been nuts! Anyone have any tips for allergy season?

If you look closely you can see Mrs. Guinito's awesome pink hair! I love being able to bring out my client's personalities in their paintings!
