Meet the Artist
Hi, I’m Reebok! (Yes, Reebok, like the shoe! I received my nickname the night that I was born because I came so quickly the doctor only had time to walk into his scrubs and catch me on my way out. So my dad said I should be nicknamed after the running shoe. And, well… it stuck!)
Pet Portraits by Reebok is a one-woman show, so I do everything from drawing the portraits to attending live events around the Atlanta area. I thought I’d take a minute to introduce myself and tell you a little bit of my story! I started drawing pet portraits in 2017 and I’m proud to be a member of Georgia Grown!
Since you like what I do, I’m guessing you really love your pet… or you really love someone who does! Me too! My dog Finn got me started drawing pet portraits back in 2017. I drew my first portrait of him not too long after we had adopted him, and everyone who saw it just loved it. My clients love their pets as much as I love mine, so it’s my mission to draw each client’s portrait with as much love and detail as I put into that very first portrait of Finn. I want to give each of my clients a pet portrait that they will cherish, a piece that will make them smile every time they see it in their home!
I still use that first portrait I drew of Finn in all my advertising because it captures him so well. My clients tell me all the time that I capture their pet’s personality in my work. When I draw a pet, it’s not just any pet. It’s YOUR pet. Custom pet portraits are special because when you unwrap and see yours for the first time, you realize it’s your pet looking back at you from the page!
I draw each Pet Portrait by hand, and I love capturing every little detail that makes your pet special! That’s why I invite you to share your pet’s story with me when you place your order. Whether I meet you in person at an event or you place an order through my website, I want to hear all of those little things that make up your pet’s unique personality!
Wondering what I’m working on right now? Here are a few ways to get connected with me:
Follow me on social media. I’m on Instagram and Facebook every day!
Sign up for my email newsletter. I send 1-2 emails a month and my subscribers are the first to hear about promos and updates!
Check out my blog. I update it monthly!
My Bio
Here’s a little bit about me: first, I grew up in Tennessee. I started drawing at a young age and pursued art classes through college, graduating Summa Cum Laude from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville in 2011. I currently reside in the Atlanta, Georgia area with my husband and dog Finn!
I started drawing Pet Portraits from my home studio in 2017. Through Pet Portraits by Reebok, I create meticulously realistic drawings of animals in charcoal and pastel on textured paper. My style is a unique blend of traditional media and contemporary subject matter, working from high-quality photographs to produce hand drawn, lifelike representations of beloved pets.
You can find me out year-round at events like the Lakewood 400 Antiques Show in Cumming, GA, and Seasonal Festivals such as the Braselton Antique Festival in Braselton, GA, the Duluth Fall Festival in Duluth, GA, and many others.
My Mission
Dogs are some of the most loving, loyal, and joyful creatures God has created. I know, because my dog Finn makes me smile throughout the day with his antics! My mission with Pet Portraits by Reebok is to share the happiness that my dog brings me by reminding you of the happiness your dog brings you!
I want to capture all the little details that make up your dog’s unique personality. That’s why I ask you to share your story with me when you place your order! Then, when you receive your package in the mail, you’re unwrapping a hand-drawn portrait that will make you smile each time you see it… because it reminds you of the love, loyalty, and joy you experience each time you play with your own dog!
