Kassie & Zeke, 2025
“I was able to gift Candy your wonderful watercolor of Zeke & our niece Kassie! There were a few tears and everyone was in awe of what a talented artist you are. The rainbow colors in the background really captured the loss of Zeke and the bond that him and Kassie made the first time we all met Zeke. Please feel free to add this to your portfolio. I will keep letting friends, neighbors and all of the pet lovers that I know how incredibly talented you are!”

Testimonials from 2021-2020
Dismal, 2021
“I commissioned Sarah to do a portrait of my dog, Dismal, that we’d had for fourteen years. Sarah had never seen the dog and worked off half a dozen pictures I forwarded from my phone. I was very anxious about how it would turn out as it was a surprise for my dog’s co-guardian, my partner. I was incredibly impressed with how she captured the personality of my dog. It was a huge hit as a present. The portrait has become one of our treasured possessions. If there was a house fire it would be one of the first things saved. We now adopt older, unwanted dogs and intend to have her do a portrait of every one. It allows us to feel like we are patrons of the arts.”

Candace M. – 2020
Wiggles, 2021
“As anyone who has suffered through the loss of a beloved pet knows, dealing with their absence is a struggle. When I asked Sarah to paint a portrait of Wiggles, my expectations were that she would capture the physical likeness of her. The portrait goes way beyond that.
Sarah captured her essence, her personality, her mischievous nature, and so much more. Viewing the portrait brings to life so many memories of the happy times spent with Wiggles – not of just one time in one place like so many photographs do, but an accumulation of all the places, all the times, all the situations that made my time with her so precious.
Thank you Sarah, for sharing your wonderful talent. The joy and consolation Wiggles’ portrait has brought me is priceless.”

“In love with Sarah’s beautiful painting of my kitty, Hocus! If you ever want a one of a kind portrait of your pet, Sarah is the best!”
Claire B.
“Very pleased to unveil my Disney styled caricature portrait by Sarah, featuring Hannibal, Krueger in his shark costume, and my most beloved foster ferret, Frostbite. Major Disney influences chosen by Sarah were The Little Mermaid (thanks to Krueger’s costume!) and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (recognize my outfit??).
The finished product comes at a special though stressful time, as Hannibal will be crossing the rainbow bridge next week. The past few weeks have been painful, but this splendidly Disney-fied version of Hannibal (which remarkably resembles a young Hannibal) really helps. I can’t thank Sarah enough for her work, and really recommend her for your pet portrait needs.”

“We asked Sarah to do a portrait of our dog Josie from a photo of her as a pup. The detail is incredible & we absolutely love the final product! My daughter loved it so much that she asked if we could have another one done of me with our Newfie mix when he was a puppy. It turned out beautifully as well & we surprised her with it for her birthday. She has it hanging on her living room wall.
I would recommend Sarah to anyone wanting a pet portrait done. Her work is absolutely fantastic!”
