Nana

Bring a Story of Loyalty and Gentle Charm Into Your Home While Making a Real-World Difference

As a pet portrait artist, I’m trained to see the beauty in every animal, but it was Nana’s sweet, gentle spirit that made me stop and paint this beautiful, 6-year-old pitbull mix. Rendered in rich, velvety gouache, this striking fine art bust portrait captures her unique personality, her kind expression, and her most endearing feature: that one perfectly straight, listening ear and the other that completely flops over.

Found as a stray with a collar but never reclaimed, Nana did absolutely nothing wrong, yet she found herself waiting for a second chance at the shelter. She is a brilliant, loving girl who already knows how to sit, lay down, shake, and spin! By bringing this print into your space, you're not just buying art—you're honoring Nana’s journey, sharing her story, and helping other shelter animals write their own success stories.

Art with a Mission

50% of all profits from this print go directly to the Gwinnett County Animal Shelter to support the care, rescue, and adoption efforts for Nana and the many other deserving animals still waiting for their fresh start.
