Calling All Pet & Dog Lovers There's something I've been thinking about lately... How quickly the little things become the things we miss the most. The way they look at you when you walk in the room. Their favorite spot in the house. The tiny quirks that only you know. And how easy it is to say, "I'll remember all of this forever"... until time quietly proves otherwise. That's why I'm opening something special between National Pet Day (April 11th) and National Dog Mom Day (May 9th). Y'all are...

National Puppy Day is March 23rd Don't miss the puppy stage -- capture those memories before they're gone forever. Memories are fleeting and sometimes we forget the sweetest things they did as they were learning about the world and growing up to be our "big dog" - we know they're always our puppy! My YouTube video is about this very topic (link not included because email providers throw emails to spam if they have links in them - bummer!). So, just go to YouTube and look up my name (Rachel...

Owning Up to My "Why" Hi friends,There was a moment, years ago, when I wondered if painting dogs was “serious” enough.Art school trains you to think in terms of galleries and critics and big statements. And here I was… painting someone’s Labrador. Or their senior rescue. Or the dog they had just lost.But then something kept happening.A woman would open the box.She’d see her dog on canvas.And she would cry.Not because it was perfect.Not because it matched the couch.But because it felt like...

My first real series of artworks is to be released this week - February 20, 2026 - National Love Your Pet Day. I am super excited, and like most artists, I will be working down to the deadline!

Dog Mom Resolutions Dog moms don't need MORE to do, but you definitely need MORE to cherish! Your dog is so important to you and the love you share grows deeper every day. Being present means not taking the memories for granted. I invite you to try out my Memory Collector Template (below) to start recording your memories in a way that feels aligned with you as a dog mom. My life was transformed by my rescue dog, Lollipop 🍭. She is my muse and inspiration for my art. If you're interested in...

Happy New Year! I can hardly believe it's 2026! Well, we all know what they say about time. And the longer I live, the more I believe it. Do you have people (and pets) in your life that bring you joy and fulfillment? Are you cherishing their love and honoring it in special ways? That's what I like to do for pet lovers - provide ways for you to truly relish your bond with your dog (or other pet) and commemorate it in artwork, which is quite a gift, if I do say so myself! My last pet portrait...

How Good Is Your Memory? Aren't you glad we have memories? Snapshots in our mind of special moments in our lives when everything was great. Then there are those memories we'd rather not remember, like losing a dear loved one (human or pet). We all have some memories of our pets that should not be forgotten. In fact, they should be celebrated and remembered in a tangible way to make it last forever! That's what my new series of artwork will be about - inspired by your love for your pets (dogs,...
