Pet Portraits with Ashes: A Beautiful Way to Remember Lost Pets

Pet portrait painter Zann Hemphill creates amazing pet memorial paintings that tin incorporate a lost pet's ashes right into the artwork.

Zann'south clients mail pets' ashes to her studio, where she works with them to arts and crafts an oil painting that captures a favourite moment on canvas.

From Zann:

"I love that my clients are people who extend their family to include their pets, who allow their lives be touched by the incredible companionship animals to take to offer. Past mixing ashes into these portraits, ash memorial paintings get a physical equally well every bit a visual representation for each lost pet, and a comfort to families who are dealing with the absenteeism of their companions.

When I create ash memorials I have fourth dimension to get to know more than about the pets and their people, every bit a pocket-sized bundle takes a journey through the mail to my studio. By the fourth dimension information technology arrives, we've usually figured out the composition and reference material, and I'll take gotten started with a painted sketch on canvas."

As Zann goes through the painting procedure, clients get updates by e-mail and have a chance to give feedback about how the piece is progressing. By the fourth dimension the painting is complete, they know every particular is in place.

"It's incredibly satisfying sending the ashes back-transformed into artwork; providing a place in the home for pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge."
