Fine Art Oil Portraits of Your Pets
meet ana.

I believe nothing is more valuable than a smile—it truly feeds the soul. My art celebrates the love and joy that surround us, with the hope of bringing a smile to your face every time you experience my work.
Rather than strict realism, I’m drawn to the emotion of brushwork. Using a reductive process, I remove and manipulate wet paint to uncover form, allowing unexpected marks and happy accidents to give each painting energy and life.
I deeply believe in storytelling. Through color, movement, and expression, I capture the spirit of my subjects—but you, the viewer, complete the story. Your own emotions and memories make each painting uniquely yours.
My artistic journey has taken my work from Pennsylvania to exhibitions in Venice, Monaco, France, Switzerland, and Mexico City. Each opportunity reminds me of art’s extraordinary ability to connect us across cultures and distances.
For me, painting is an invitation to share a moment of joy and celebrate the simple, beautiful things in life—one smile at a time.

Testimonials

Thomas, "Maggie"
I know I thanked you many times but it does not seem sufficient.
I stand in front of the portrait at bedtime, and talk to her.
The painting is so realistic that I feel she could jump into my arms.
So glad I got to meet you. 🐶

Geoff, "Monty"
I can’t believe how perfect this is. You captured everything even down to the few black spots on Monty”s face!!
You really captured the essence of Maddie perfectly. You captured everything even her tooth !! Thank you so very much.

Brenda, "Buster"
I gave Buster's painting today for their 25th anniversary. They LOVED it.
It brought tears to their eyes.

Vale, "Budy & Muffy"
I commissioned Ana to do 3 portraits of our 2 deceased dogs. Not only did she practically bring them back to life for us, but she surprised me by taking 2 pictures & making it into one beautiful creation of both of them on our boat!
We are both extremely happy with her realistic work!
Thank you, Ana!
