Welcome to my creative corner in this world!
My name is Jessica and I am a young, motivated, and unapologetically enthusiastic artist currently living in the North Dallas area of the big state of Texas, USA.
I feel blessed that I am young and able to do what I am passionate about everyday (this, I credit to the support and encouragement from my loving husband and incredible family).
I wish I could tell you how it all began but I can not remember a time that I wasn't making a mess somewhere in my house being "creative." I have always loved everything that is artistic, and crafty: jewelry, painting, drawing, ceramics, scrapbooking, photography, and writing.
Here, I hope to share with you, my passions. I hope you enjoy!
An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language.
~ Martin Buber
Let's face it, our pets are a very important part of our lives. They love us unconditionally (for treats of course), curl up next to us on the couch during our favorite show, look up at us with cute sad eyes when we find them being "bad", and are our kids' best friends. They bring laughter, comfort, and happiness because our house is not a home without them.
Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.
~ Roger Caras
There are few things in life more heartwarming than to be welcomed by a cat.

A dog maybe a man's best friend but a horse made history...

FAQ
Can you do a portrait of any animal?
Yes! Don’t have a furry friend? No problem. I can do a pet portrait of any animal - horse, dog, cat, reptile, amphibian, bird, hamster, pig, ferret, armadillo, squirrel, insect, monkey, etc.
What do you need from me?
All I need to create your custom pet portrait is a photograph of your pet. The picture should be clear (pictures taken in natural light make the best references) and your pet should be in the desired pose that you would like your pet painted in. For example, if you would like your dog captured chewing a ball, I would need a photograph of he or she chewing on a ball.
Can I have a portrait with more than one pet?
Yes. Each additional pet in the portrait is $15.00. You can send me a separate photograph for each additional pet and I will incorporate them into the layout. Please send a photograph with the desired pose for that pet.
Can I pick my background color?
Yes. After I have received your photograph, we will discuss desired layout and background color(s).
Can I see the portrait’s progress?
Sure. If you would like, I can send you images via e-mail after I have done the layout sketch or at any other stage you desire.
What if I do not like the finished portrait?
Your satisfaction is my #1 priority. If, after several attempts of correcting the portrait to your liking, you are not happy with the finished portrait, I will refund you 100%. Please note, any rejected portraits become the property of the artist.
Do I get the original portrait?
Absolutely!
Will you sell copies of my pet’'s portrait?
You will receive the original artwork and I will not sell copies of your pets portrait without your permission.

A photograph is memory in the raw. ~Carrie Latet
There are a million quotes in the world that describe how I feel about photography and photos. To cram it into a single sentence: it is worth a thousand words, it opens a window into the soul, it is a stolen moment, and it is an artistic expression of the individual.
Photography has been a hobby of mine for as long as I can remember. Consisting mainly of me spending copious amounts of time squatting and leaning behind a camera during trips to the zoo, park, beach, and vacations (I have a patient husband)!
I love photographing landscapes, architecture, animals, and precious moments. I strive to share my passion with others to give them snapshots of high-quality but affordable memories that I hope will be treasured to many years to come.
Prints shown here are available at my Etsy shop, TesoroArt.
