This is how it all started for me. I lost my beloved Wurzel, a rescue pit bull cross that stayed on this planet a short time. The urn his ashes came in was beautiful, but I wanted him with me somehow, watching over me, still part of the family. Not in a box... My pet ash portraits are for those that may feel the same. When you commission your pet ash portrait, you can be 100% assured that I only work with your dog and your dogs ashes at the time of preparation. I work with crystals all around my work area and send you picture proof of the ash to paint preparation process.
