Hi! My name is Sarah, I am a full time graphic designer, part-time artist 🎨👩🏻‍🎨

I offer pet portrait classes at varies location and I also do them for fundraisers

I am a photographer, I do product photos at work but i enjoy building fun settings and take pet photos

Sometimes you’ll see me doing pop up markets drawing stuff

My latest identity is a CRI, certified Bob Ross Instructor, I teach oil painting using Bob Ross’s wet-on-wet methods

And last but definitely not least, I am a dog-mom, just like many of you 🐶🐾 by @paintmybuddy

It was a perfect rainy weekend spending two days painting pets ❤️ Saturday I was at my happy place @artsupplywarehouse doing an acrylic pet portrait workshop, then Sunday I was at this beautiful little shop @lemiboutiqueoc doing a watercolor pet portrait workshop. Next time when I do this I’ll be in Albany Oregon at @alla_prima_studio this December! 🎨 by @paintmybuddy

We are ready for it….Are you? Santa is joining us November 15 @trademarkbrewing to get photos with you and/or your pups. 🎅🏻 🐶 You don’t want to miss this! 😉 by @paintmybuddy

October is one of the busiest months, and what’s fun about doing pop up in October is seeing all the dogs in costumes 🥰 here are some of the paintings I did yesterday at @long_beach_pet_fair and today at @verdugobar

My next pop up will be at Irvine art faire in two weeks, so if you would like to bring me your purse, cell phone case, wallet, Trader Joe’s tote etc to paint on, you can find me at Irvine art faire on Nov 7. by @paintmybuddy

Last night I had a great time with my very good friend @nishanivipul doing our first live art in fashion portrait style! Nishani is a talented artist, we met 10 years ago at work and we stayed friends ever since. We always talked about doing something together, and we finally got the perfect opportunity to do so!

Last night @goprcs Porter Ranch Community School hosted an Alice in Wonderland Gala, and we had the chance to try doing live art of people in beautiful outfits 🙌 there was one huge problem though…. And it was on me 😅 I forgot to bring all the paper 🤯🤯🤯 luckily I had a huge pack of trading card size paper in my car, so we had to change our plan from drawing 4x6 to a tiny little card 🫠 however, we both kinda like drawing on this size! So maybe it was meant to be! What do you think?

It was such a fun night, Nishani and I both look forward to doing this again! In the meantime we will be practicing our fashion sketching skills and getting ready for our next event! 💃🏻

Thank you @goprcs for the amazing opportunity ❤️ by @paintmybuddy

I am testing a new product, I want to try to paint on tumbler or water bottle (this is my dad’s bottle) Now the next step is, I’ll ask him to use and wash it like how he normally does, and see if the painting is safe! What do you think? Any suggestion?

I also have a list of new things in my head that I want to try, so stay tuned! by @paintmybuddy

It’s the day of the dog @thedayofthedog at Santa Monica today, I am so honored to be there alongside @socalfrenchbdrescue

Thank you to those who stopped by, I love to see familiar faces every time I’m out doing a pop up market 🥰

It was a fun day and because of everyone who supported my hand painted artworks, we raised $180 to @socalfrenchbdrescue from today! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

P.S. for the first time, someone offered to draw me when i was drawing 🥰🥰 I loved my little drawing! Thank you much @love_saintwynters

Also, I did not take the last picture but I had to repost it because its Dog Ross! 🎨 by @paintmybuddy

Did you know that you can bring me your purse and let me paint your pets on it?

Here is Momo showing you my Chong Chong sample bag, and also Jasmine and Daisy @doggiefunday ‘s two bags 👜 by @paintmybuddy

This is the first time I’m submitting artworks to an art show, and of course it’s my favorite place @artsupplywarehouse ! The theme of this show is studio Ghibli; i didn’t watch all of their movies but I did grow up with Totoro, so I painted two piece combining my pet portrait skills with Bob Ross’s landscapes. Do you like them? by @paintmybuddy

Last month, I was so honored to have my very first wedding event ever! ❤️

Thank you, Sara @cocodelsolco, for trusting someone with zero experience doing this to be your live artist at your wedding. 🥹 I painted the guests (or their pets!) on little bottles. Even though painting people isn’t really my thing, I was so happy to see the guests’ faces light up when they saw their mini bottles. 🥰

I’m so grateful for the opportunity and hope to have more events like this in the future! ✨

P.s. look at the giant camera pointing at my work! Made me nervous 😅😅😅 but the photos came out so cool! by @paintmybuddy
