The Exalted Pet
~Pet Portraits that Satisfy the Soul....
Allow Myself to Introduce....Myself.
There are two things I love most in this world. My family and my painting.
My name is Natalie Hirshman and I am a lifelong lover of all animals, big and small (arachnids are another story, but I'm working on that). I've been an artist as long as I can remember, developing my craft as a result of a mix of formal training and self-taught techniques. I feel adamant that art comes alive when it is developed purely from the heart, the mind, and spirit. Although I can encounter a roadblock or twenty following this path, I'm never disappointed at what new surprises and revelations appear from each new piece. My goal is to capture the spirit of each subject, uniquely and wholly (and hopefully with a couple of giggles).
Just because my work is special, doesn't mean it can't be funny, too. I mean, really, who else makes you laugh after the worst day ever? That's right. Your Exalted Pet.
I hope you enjoy my work and laugh as much as I do! Come back often and hopefully I may have the opportunity to memorialize your Exalted Pets soon!
~Cheers! Natalie
