Collection: Melinda Arthur

Melinda Arthur has been living and creating art in Virginia all her life. She has a passion for animals, creating beautiful life-like portraits of pets, wildlife, and elements of the natural world. She has been working in oils and graphite pencils for many years, and after studying with a renowned botanical artist in New Mexico in 2022 and 2023 she discovered her real strength lay in colored pencils.

Melinda's Pet Portraits are custom-created artworks from owner-provided photos. The style aims to catch a glimpse, a moment, a look unique to the animal, focusing largely on their eyes and expression along with specific markings and coloration.
