Kellie Straw Professional Pet Portrait Artist
Thank you so much for visiting my art page. I am a third generation, self-taught artist, who obviously loves animals. Rose, my Rottweiler, was my inspiration for painting dogs. My subjects before dogs were more of a challenge than a passion. When I painted Rose, I felt I had found the subject I could be most passionate about, and lucky for me, make a living at it as well. My pet portrait business has introduced me to thousands of pet owners near and far, people with wonderful stories about their four-legged friends. Share your story with me about your pal, as I create for you a painting that will be cherished for a lifetime.
