Inspired by Cooper & Elliott

Inspired by Cooper & Elliott Custom original artwork of your one-of-a-kind pet! Our company name is more than “just a name”, it states why it exists! But who are Cooper & Elliott? Everything.

Hand drawn & painted from a favorite photo using a special artistic technique that captures the unique personality of your pet! They are the two short and hairy males that changed my life…for the better. Elliott - a sweet, 8 pound, extremely intelligent black and white Papillon, and also my first four-legged love; Cooper – an energetic, animated, personality overflowing, ruby Cavalier King Charles

Spaniel, and my soul mate in canine form…both of these boys have shown me what’s truly important in life: being yourself, living in the moment, small wins are big wins and should make you just as happy, simply enjoying life to the fullest every single day and especially, loving unconditionally. But what does that have to do with inspiring art? Some artists know practically from birth what they are, while others take longer to grow into their artist pants. In either case, all artists need to be inspired in order to spark creativity – it’s impossible to truly be free to create without motivation and reason behind it. Motivation stimulates creativity. I am one of the artists who knew from birth what I was. While I have a variety of inspirations for other art that I do (you can check out my sculptures, paintings, photography and more at www.deborahervin.com), the love and the life that I have had because of Cooper and Elliott enables me to create these pet portraits. They are my inspiration. I see in other pet owners their love and devotion - dogs, cats, birds, hamsters…pets of all species are family - it makes me smile and I want to capture that feeling in an image that is as unique as the love and their pet. No two animals or relationships are the same, artwork is that way too! We’ll create a custom, one-of-a-kind piece of original art, in the style that suites you and your pet, from one of your favorite photographs. All art is hand drawn and painted using two different artistic techniques. Don’t have a pet, but like a certain breed? Check out our Image Gallery and choose an image to be made into a print or placed on merchandise. Check out the tabs on our page to learn more about the different options!

Did you know that Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women? The first Friday of February is National Wear Red Day. Inspired by Cooper & Elliott Cooper and his gal pal Willow say, “Go Red for Women”!

This is the American Heart Association's signature women's initiative. It addresses the awareness and clinical care gaps of women’s greatest health threat, cardiovascular disease (CVD). Did you know: 1. Nearly 45% of women ages 20+ are living with some form of cardiovascular disease, 2. less than half of women entering pregnancy in the U.S. have optimal cardiovascular health and 3. Women experience unique life stages, such as pregnancy and menopause, that can put them at an increased risk for CVD.

McDreamy says rain walks suck. Cooper says the only time wrapping up in a towel like this is fun is when you get out of the pool. This was not the pool.

It’s a rainy morning. No one is happy about wake up potty time. Bubby and his mom picked us up from the airport yesterday and we hung out with them and Si Si (she has been hanging out with them while her mom and dad are away) at their house. Then McDreamy’s Mom dropped our pal off last night and he will be coming with Cooper and I to Willow’s doghouse tomorrow. We are making up for lost cavalier time the past month + LOL. Back to our fun reality!

Meet Black Lab Yogi Bear as an Inspired by Cooper & Elliott custom pet painting. This beautiful girl was born in Feb 2010, and found her furever home in July 2010. She enjoyed walks and was a gentle giant who believed she was a lap dog. Yogi Bear loved her moms Kayla and Anne – and the feeling was mutual. She also loved her siblings…a Beagle named Lucy, and 3 cat brothers. Sadly, in September 2023 Yogi Bear made her journey to the rainbow bridge. Leaving her family heartbroken. Her gramma Kathy commission me to create this special Christmas present for her daughter. Her mom sent me a personal note saying how much she loved it and that it was the best present she has ever received. What an amazing compliment! I’m so happy that I could be a part of making such a special gift! www.cooperandelliott.com

The Holocaust didn’t happen overnight. It didn’t start with the gas chambers. It started with politics. It started with “us and them”. It grew from hatred that slowly developed from words that poisoned and brainwashed the minds of groups and individuals, to unfathomable actions and crimes.

80 years ago, today, the survivors of Auschwitz were liberated. While thankful that there were survivors, the Holocaust was something that should never have happened. Never. No one person or group should ever have been able to influence with such hatred. But it did happen, there is no denying it.

We must always remember these lost souls and their extreme suffering, and those who survived the horror. We must strive to ensure that it NEVER EVER happens again. No human on earth is better or worse than another based on their religion, their political views, the amount of money they have, the color of their skin, their race, their gender or their sexual orientation. We are all created equal by God and no human is greater than God. Cooper says don’t forget that.

Meet Brody, a young, energetic Golden Doodle from Chicagoland who just moved into a new doghouse. His Mom’s amazing realtor commissioned this Inspired by Cooper & Elliott custom pet portrait of him to gift her client for the home sale closing day (she’s one truly thoughtful real estate broker!). And it was a hit! Her client was touched and loves it. I’m so happy I could be a part of helping to make this special day even more so. We hope that Brody and his family enjoy their new digs and smile each time they look at his painting, remembering the great experience! www.cooperandelliott.com

Meet Gentry a beautiful black English Lab and sister Shih Tzu Lily is a Shih Tzu from Texas. Gentry is all about retrieving (hence the prize in her mouth) and swimming in the pool. Lily is independent and barks to show you what she wants or needs. She’s a tease, because she wants you to notice her, but try to pick her up and she runs the other way. Not your typical duo, they are quite the pair together and are very bonded. Treasured by their human family, their grandmother commissioned this special Inspired by Cooper & Elliott custom pet painting of them. I'm told that it was gifted to the family at Christmas and they loved it! It was my pleasure to capture and painting the essence of these two cuties! www.cooperandelliott.com

Snow fun! Well, for Willow. Cooper had a lot to say in the 2nd half of the video regarding his lack of appropriate snow attire. I’m in trouble. #snowday #snowing #dogfriends #cavalierkingcharlesspaniel #supercooper #dogsitting #dogsitter #dogsitterlife #fyp #reelitfeelit

Happy birthday Jesus! Shepherd (and sometimes camel) Cooper and I wish friends near and far, a Merry Christmas. May you have joy in your heart, a smile on your face, hope for the future, and be surrounded by love.“for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.’”[Luke 2:8-14 KJV]#happybirthday #merrychristmas #christmasday #glorytogod #peace #happiness #thankful #supercooper #jesus #fyp #reelitfeelit

December 8th is a very important pillar of Catholic teaching: the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. A lot of people mistakenly think that this day refers to the conception of Jesus by the Virgin Mary. Super Cooper educates everyone on the subject and who makes up for the sin deficit. #supercooper #holydays #holydayofobligation #catholic #mary #sin #holidayseason #jesuschrist #tagafriend #repost #follow #reelitfeelit #cavalierkingcharlesspaniel #education #ImmaculateConception #Advent #catholic #Mothermary
