Maybe you’ve always wanted to paint your beloved pet…

…but you’ve never known where to begin.

Or maybe you’ve started before, but never finished.

Or maybe you’ve convinced yourself you’re just “not artistic enough.”

You’re not alone.

Imagine five days from now…

Imagine stepping back from your easel and thinking,

“I painted that.”

Not because you suddenly became more talented.

But because someone finally showed you where to begin.

Hi, I’m Erica

Painting has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a third-generation painter , I sold my first painting at the age of 10 and have been painting for more than 35 years.

For the past decade, I’ve specialized in creating heirloom pet portraits for collectors around the world. More than 150 families have entrusted me to preserve the animals they love most through my signature approach, Bringing Them Back™.

My work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Martha Stewart Weddings, among many others.

Now, I’d love to show you that painting a pet portrait is something you can learn, too.
