About The Artist

Hello and welcome!

My name is Kim and I am a Burlington-based pet portrait artist.

I've always loved art, animals, and nature. As a child, I spent hours outdoors and drawing animals from art books, eager to learn and improve. That dedication remains today.

Over the years, I’ve had the joy of raising lop-eared rabbits, alpacas, sheep, and horses, as well as caring for both saltwater and freshwater aquariums. Today, my family and I live in beautiful Vermont, where our home is happily filled with two standard Poodles, two toy Poodles, several beloved grand-dogs that visit often, and a variety of colorful freshwater aquariums.

Combining my love for animals and art feels natural. I enjoy working with pet owners, making portraits that often honor lost pets. I strive to make the process meaningful and easy while capturing each pet’s unique personality.

When I’m not painting, I enjoy spending time with my family and pets, playing mandolin, gardening, and knitting.

While you’re here, please sign up for my monthly email below! I do not send spam, just art studio updates and news. I’d love to have you join my community of art and pet lovers!

Sincerely,

Kim
