Meet the Artist
My name is Stephanie Pollock, and I am a former elementary school art teacher, an artist with a focus on painting, a mother to 2 energetic young boys, and a lifelong animal lover. I have a Masters in Art Education from Towson University and the theme of painting dogs started with a painting class I took in an undergrad painting class. I decided to paint a portrait of my wonderful soft-coated wheaten terrier at the time, Brody, for an assignment on layered painting techniques and texture. The final product made me laugh each time I looked at it because I felt like I captured the very goofy nature of the pup I loved so much.
Brody was my inspiration for many different projects from that day forth ranging from ceramic Brody mugs, to a "Wonderful Wheaten" picture book, to painted aprons & tote bags with his image on it, and many ceramic figurines in his likeness. While Brody is now a little angel pup in doggy Heaven, he is still considered a co-founder for Paint My Paws.
My husband and I have 2 incredible mixed breed pups from hardworking volunteer-based rescue organizations, K9Lifesavers k-9lifesavers.org and Paws and Claws, New England www.facebook.com/PawsClawsNewEngland/ . They love to hang out in my studio with me while I create different works of art. Millie and Trotter bring about even deeper appreciation for the importance animals have in human lives.
Pet portraits have a wonderfully charming, enlightening, and personalized quality to them and I enjoy giving people the chance to experience that.
