My pet portraits explore the visual perimeters of my subjects, while infusing them with the spirit of the interaction, creating a deep psychological mood. Treating the portrait of cherished animal with as much reverence as a person, my work validates the intense enjoyment and unconditional love associated with the pet. The relationship is straight forward though far from simple. The sharing of warmth, touch, play and the intimacy of the relationship transcends daily life and provides respite from complexity and stress.
