"Making Your Pet's Memory Ever Lasting"
Here at Schlueter Sketch Studios I create hand drawn pet portraits working from your photos AND that's all I do. I specialize in graphite pencil sketches honing my craft to it's highest degree. Allowing me to make super lifelike recreations of your beloved pet. Have your pet memorialized in a custom lifelike pet portrait, so that every time you gaze upon his custom portrait you will be reminded how special he is to you, now & always. Sketching is something I DEARLY love & animals, dogs especially, are my passion & love in life. I've been obsessed with everything canine since birth my mom tells me! I also have always had a love of being creative. Mixing these two loves was absolutely a no-brainer! If you decide to make the very personal decision to entrust me to sketch a beloved dog or other pet you can believe every part of my heart & soul will be poured into that sketch. Here at my Schlueter Sketch Studios shop you will be able to commission a sketch of your dog, cat or any pet OR commission me to sketch the pet of a loved one. I sketch dogs, cats, horses & pretty much anything else if you get me a clear enough picture. Over the 10 plus years I've been in business I have sketched people, (kids & adults), buildings, motorcycles, cars and even exotic pets... so the sky's the limit. You will also find Prints of original sketches I have done both dogs & some wildlife pieces. Mixed in there are some of my original artwork that you can purchase (not prints but the actual piece I sketched). Also available are gift packages for purchase. For more on them look up the Gift Package section. You should know that when you purchase a Print or Original artwork from me that I offer a SATISFACTION GUARANTEE on all my pieces. In the unlikely chance you are not completely satisfied with your piece my vow is to personally work with you to make it absolutely perfect! I try to make every piece unbelievably special & a piece you will want to hang on your wall & admire now & for years to come.

My Back Story
I want to start by saying that I am entirely self taught. The only lessons I've had were high school art classes, so I had an uphill battle to teach myself to draw BUT I got to learn to do it my way. I have always loved mechanical graphite pencils. They keep that sharp edge no matter what and it lets you get all those fine hairs and detail like no other. So, that's what I use to create my pieces. Those, cap erasers & blending stumps and that's about it. I embarked on my endeavor to be a full time artist buy first starting to sketch for people I knew at the health club I was working at back in 2004. Word grew & I started doing local shows. I loved sketching AND getting paid to do it so much that I hate to admit but my work at the club suffered. So much so that, and I'm going to frank, I got fired. The BEST thing that could have happened to me. I had to make this work. I didn't have any choice. With a new found fire under me and the depressing day after day of working at a soul sucking job lifted I got busy. I continued working local art shows & in the meantime this "internet" thing started being something I could harness & I took advantage of it. The first place I started to sell my services was a Dog inspired site called "Dogster" . Sharing some of my work there got me followers & orders. People who still are with me today! On top of a couple of other sites like that I found (low and behold) Facebook. A lot of time & work later I figured out how to grow an audience there. So much so that that's where almost all my work came from. In 2009 I started on etsy but it has only been within the last few years that the pendulum swung the other way and etsy became where I was getting seen & embraced. It has been a long road & things continue to change & evolve. Even my work, but only for the better. My sketching experience building on itself, allowing me to hone my skills further & further. I look forward to doing this into a ripe old age! I never tire of this & sketching pieces for people of their beloved pets. Making them happy with a super special something to remember their furbabies by, be it they are with us or crossed to the Rainbow Bridge. Genevieve S

I recently requested the creation of a sketch for my daughter, whose boxer recently passed away. The sketch came out incredible and my daughter was speechless when she received the sketch. Genevieve was incredible to work with and really took into account how special this piece would be for my daughter.
