Emiko's Portrait

Emi's beautiful portrait arrived yesterday from the amazingly talented Jennifer Frith! It is beyond lovely and captures Emi's spirit perfectly! I will be having Jenny work on Kenji-Boy's soon. It has been cathartic for me to have her do this work. It has given me a chance to talk about Emi, browse through photos and relive sweet memories of her. Yes at times its been quite painful and sad yet worthwhile. From this venture, I have formed a sweet friendship with Jenny which furthers my belief that art  changes people's lives and the world.

Please be sure to check out Jenny's blog and facebook page and contact her to have a beloved pet's portrait done by her! You won't regret it!

Blog Break for Emiko

My beautiful beloved puppy, Emiko, passed away on 27 Feb 2013 and my heart is so broken I cannot bring myself to do much at this point.

I am away from my studio and blogging for a bit. Thanks for understanding and I will see you back here when I am able.
