This post is a humble brag about my incredibly talented girlfriend, Christi, who has mastered the art of watercolor pet portraits. Recently, she’s expanded her brushstrokes to capture humans as well, and she is just amazing! Her work brings a smile to so many faces and often a tear or two when people receive these beautifully lifelike paintings.
The reactions are priceless. People send her videos of their loved ones unwrapping her portraits, which is so beautiful to witness. She captures every detail and the soulful glint in the eyes that brings each pet to life. It’s especially touching for those who have lost their furry friend; her portraits offer a comforting way to remember a beloved companion.
I’m beyond proud of her for starting this business despite initially doubting her talent. Christi spends countless hours perfecting every brushstroke, especially focusing on the eyes to reveal each pet’s spirit. Thanks to Facebook and Instagram, her art has traveled around the world, from Canada to Mexico and beyond.
If you’re looking for a truly special gift that will be treasured forever, reach out to her. Her professionalism and skill will create the perfect likeness of your pet or loved one. She offers A4 and A3 sizes, all in watercolor, and as an added bonus, she can frame the portrait and send it directly as a gift. You can even choose your frame!

It’s wonderful to hear how her paintings have touched so many hearts, especially those who’ve lost a pet. The smallest gestures can carry the most weight, and Christi’s portraits prove that time and again.
Here is a client that sent her a video after unwrapping 3 pet portraits she receivd.
