A World of Animals & Nature

When I started painting pet portraits a few years ago (well actually I've painted them off and on for decades) I had forgotten how much I love creating animal art (and nature subjects). My graphic design career really didn't involve them much, so it took me by surprise how much I'd missed seeing their beautiful eyes (my favorite part to paint).
Here's some demonstration images you might enjoy seeing... http://bit.ly/Starglow-Studio-DemoImages (when you get there, just click on the image to see the next one)

I've stopped painting commissioned portraits right now. The stress was just too high. I'm concentrating on just creating what I love and using what I've already created to post here on Etsy.

--- To quote a customer "Your art is cute but not cutesy". ---
That's EXACTLY what I want my art to be.

I grew up on a farm and had a great childhood exposed to lots of nature, plus both domestic and wild creatures of all kinds. From dozens of barn cats to polecats, goats, horses, cows, pigs, chickens, and wild pets too numerous to list.

After marriage and moving to a large metropolitan area, cats were my passion. I placed over 130 fostered cats (I lost count at that point) into new loving homes (including my own LOL).

I've made my career and living as a freelance artist, both graphic design and fine art. I love illustrating animals more than anything else, but unfortunately its a time consuming passion so I don't do as much of it as I would like.

Thanks for visiting!
