Remembering Molly—A Portrait of Love and Legacy

This pet portrait, Remembering Molly, is nearly complete—just a few final touches and it will be on its way to its new home. Each time I create a portrait of a beloved pet or person who has passed on, I’m deeply reminded of how fleeting and precious life truly is. One moment we’re here, and the next we’re a memory.

As difficult as loss can be, it’s a powerful reminder of how deeply we can love. A painting has the ability to capture the spirit, warmth, and personality of a life once lived—a life that still lingers in the hearts of those left behind. It’s my hope that each portrait I create brings comfort, joy, and a lasting connection to those cherished memories.

I feel truly honored and blessed to do this work.

As a hairstylist, I’ve also had the solemn privilege of giving some of my late clients their final hairstyle for their wake. It’s a tender responsibility that I never take lightly. Whether through hair or paint, I feel called to help people honor the ones they love.

Some call it a calling. Others say it’s a God-given talent. Whatever it is, I know it’s my passion—and it gives my life purpose.
