About Us

 It all started in the most unusual way, at a little local business I had started called Whoof on the Wharf,* where we specialized in getting people out on the water on kayaks with their dogs. I was looking for something to do in the winter months in the clubhouse at the marina, so I taught myself to paint dogs so that I could then lead paint night events where people paint a portrait of their own pup. I was initially so nervous... I watched a ton of videos. And then... I was hooked! That following year, I must have painted a hundred dogs in acrylics. :) I guess you could say, I am self taught? I love painting dogs and other animals in unusual and bright color combinations, including neon paint that glows under black light! Now I lead paint nights locally, which I often title "Paint for Paws" as they are usually done in partnership with local rescue organizations as a fund raising event. I am so incredibly privileged to be able to use my art to help homeless animals. But you do not need to be a rescue or a nonprofit to organize a paint event. Feel free to reach and discuss the possibilities!

 *Whoof on the Wharf closed for kayak rentals and events at end of August 2025, but I am so happy our paint events will go on!
