Hi, I am Michelle Henderson-Topp.
I am a self taught artist who has been painting professionally for over 25 years. Painting is my absolute passion. My clients often remark on the extraordinary joy and uniqueness of my work.
I am now painting one-of-a-kind pet portraits from my home studio in Squamish, BC.
If you are wanting to commission an original acrylic portrait of your pet, this is the place!
My pets came to me as pups and I was with them for the whole of their lives. right up to the end, through the letting go. The companionship and love that I shared with my dogs was, for me, a source of unlimited joy, and acceptance.
So, I get it.
Pets are family. They are friends and companions. You want to remember and to honour that special bond.
Why Pet Portraits?
Why Choose Me?
Because I am also an empath and an intuitive, I often feel your pets’ personality in the studio, especially the ones that have passed. I know they are participating in the experience of painting their portrait. That adds another layer to what I bring you as an artist.
It is my intent to do my best for you and for your pet.
I’d love to work with you.
