Welcome to COCO's Portraits, where you will experience my one-of-a-kind pet portraits in photography and oil painting.

Located in Brewster, MA on enchanted Cape Cod, my quest is simply to create magical paintings and photographs that convey the spirit and personality within each one of my animal clients.  Please take time to browse through my portfolio to observe how I convey the individual personality of each one of them.

For me, painting a portrait is remarkably rewarding. It is my love for Beauty ~ the Spirit ~ within all beings, which inspires me to capture their unique, inherent, nuances ~ be it via my camera's lense or, with the paint from my brush.
For me, this power comes through the eyes. When painting, I begin always with the eyes, because, if I don't get them right, it's not worth continuing. I usually get them right. If I don't, I fix them before I proceed. Then the rest of the painting falls into place.

Thank you for viewing my work. I hope you enjoy it.
