You love animals, and you love art, and you know that they go perfectly together! I agree. Welcome to my corner of the world!
Hello, my name is Heatherlyn. I am a self-taught, graphite, pet portrait artist. I believe the simplicity and contrast of the black and white portrait helps to focus our attention on the emotion and beauty of the subject.
I have been drawing as long as I can remember. At an early age the theme of drawing animals emerged, combining my love of animals and my love of art. I grew up around animals, getting my own dog when I was 12. I’m that person always trying to identify what dog breeds are in that mix, and constantly soaking up information about care, breeds, training, nutrition, and working dogs! On the side I love hiking and spending time in the outdoors training with my lab/shepherd mix, Heidi and mal/shepherd mix Vienna.
Please feel free to contact me so we can get in touch or follow me on Facebook or Instagram to see more of my work!
