Olivia’s Story:

The reason why a pet portrait is so valuable is because our pets are like family. Believe me when I say that I know what that heartbreak feels like when you lose an animal you’ve grown up with for years.

You still find yourself getting up in the mornings about to feed them or take them for a walk or coming home from work still expecting to be greeted happily. You scroll through pictures on your phone where you’ve taken “selfies” with them. You miss them and it’s heartbreaking.

However, after a while of patiently waiting, you get a package in the mail, open it up, and see a painting of your beloved furbaby looking back at you. It’s the same tilt of the head, the same markings, the same eyes. It’s YOUR pet. They’ve suddenly been brought back to life and you catch yourself smiling again. You hang it up on your wall and now you find that happy face still greeting you every day you come home.

This is why pet portraits are so valuable…. they bring back life!

Ever since I was old enough to pick up a crayon, I KNEW I was going to live my life being an artist.

My senior year of high school I had one of my first photo-realism paintings hung in the Columbia Museum of Art and then won first place in my school district's art competition in 2008. That’s when I knew I’d go on to study art in college.

I studied photography at Winthrop University and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2012.

For a few years, I ran a photography business producing fashion, portrait, and wedding photography. Then I decided to take a break from self-employment, (due to lack of believing in myself). But after giving a couple "normal" jobs a chance, I decided to risk it, quit, and dove into painting again.

I remember sitting on my floor, unemployed, no guarantee for income, and just began painting, painting, painting. After a few months, my pet portrait photo-realism drawings began to grow more and more interest.

Then my lovely cousin, Cameran Wimberly, (Real World and Southern Charm reality TV star) shared my work a couple times on her instagram (with hundreds of thousands of followers) and my business took off. I immediately was booked out months in advance.

Since then, my work has been featured by a few more instagram influencers, I’ve been voted in the top 10, two years in a row in Blick’s Nationwide Pet Portrait Art contest, and my pet portrait work has traveled as far as Australia.

Currently, I’m residing in my hometown, Anderson, SC not only painting Pet Portraits, but also continuing in commercial and portrait photography.
