Bio & Commissions
Hello, my name is Aubrey
A little about me, and everything you need to commission a portrait.
I am a Pacific Northwest colored pencil artist and dog enthusiast. I was raised in a family of artists in every field who supported my pursuit of the fine arts, namely my mother Erika Joanne and my talented siblings.
A little about me
I have been creating commissioned art pieces for family and friends since I was 16 years old, and I started using Prismacolor Premier colored pencils around that time to draw animals. I currently work as an administrative assistant, and I am the Educational Coordinator for an animal rescue where I help provide animal education and rescue support for my local community. My passions include reading, positive reinforcement dog training and of course, drawing.
My artwork and pets
I use colored pencils to make detailed and realistic pet portraits. My dog Lady likes to supervise me as I complete my projects. She doesn't draw, but she sure does support my interests and affinity for canines.
