On Saturday Nov.12th I went to the Atlanta Pet Expo at the North Atlanta Trade Center. I was so surprised at all the people that brought their dogs. So many different kinds too. I was very impressed with all the vendors and their displays. I hope to have a booth there next year. I received a lot on free little gifts and signed up to win a few thing. I met quite a few people and gave little pats to many beautiful dogs. It is so wonderful to see all the people looking at the pet adoption for dogs and cats. I was also surprised that is was FREE admission and parking. That made it even better.
I want to name a couple of Vendors I talked to and I will write about them in my next blog. I met so many and they were all so nice with lots of information. I will also give you their website address so you can get to know them yourself.

Me
The Artist
Hello,
Welcome to my Pet Portrait Blog. First I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself. I was born and raised just outside of Buffalo NY. I am now living in Atlanta GA. My husband and I have two beautiful daughters, 4 Shih Tzu's and a Great Dane. Life is good! Growing up we always had a dog and sometimes other little critters. I was lucky to have parents that loved animals as much as I did. As a little girl I loved to draw and color. I would sit for hours with my friends and draw different things and we would have contests. Later when I moved to GA and after I married and had children I got into the collectibles/antique business. I enjoyed that for 15 years.I started painting on furniture, clothes, glass and old windows. Recycling the old windows and furniture into something whimsy was a big hit. My customers would have me paint windows to hang on their front porches, in their gardens, and even in their houses. That was the beginning of painting murals at home, churches and store fronts. Again people were loving the whimsical style I had. From there I went to a few art classes and loved what I was learning. I was surprised to find that my passion in painting was not landscape, still life or people portraits. My favorite was to paint animals. Maybe because I love animals and I can connect with them. Again, friends and family were enjoying my paintings and soon I was getting jobs to paint peoples pets for gifts. So here I am and loving it.
