My name is Phil McWhirt and I’ve been an artist and art teacher for over 30 years. I enjoy the challenge of using a medium to capture the personality and identity of each pet that I paint. My greatest thrill is hearing and seeing the complete satisfaction of each client as they unwrap their finished painting. It's humbling to give thanks for this talent that can be used to create lifelong memories and joy for others.  If you have an interest in commissioning a pet portrait, send me an email. I will communicate and work directly with you to see if we can fulfill your desire to own an original work of art which will lead to many years of satisfaction and joy.
