Pet Portraits by Jessica Kale

Welcome!

    My name is Jessica Kale and I am an artist specializing in pet portraits. I have an associate’s degree in fine arts and I am currently a student studying for my bachelor’s degree.

    Art has always held within it a spiritual value for me. I find the creative use of and my love for animals give the subjects of my artwork an essence of spiritual power. I try to capture the true personality using various artistic outlets.

    I use a technique called scratchboard, primarily as my artistic medium. To give life to the scratchboard I apply a watercolor wash, highlighting the vast colors of the fur or the emotion within the eyes. I also use acrylics, pen and ink, and charcoal.

    All pets are special and have their own unique personalities. I apply this to my decision of what medium to use; as all mediums have their own unique personalities. I will happily suggest which medium I feel will best capture your pet or you can choose.

I look forward to hearing from you and your pet!
