Pet Portrait Testimonials

“I’m beyond words. That’s my Zeke - you got him 100%! You put yourself in my heart and in Zeke’s heart. You’re amazing. You really put your full emotion into it; it radiates in the sculpture. It took my breath away.” - Ellyn Z., MA

From preliminary sketches to clay sculpture, all the way to the final bronze casting, Patrice has a loving and meticulous attention to detail. She captured every subtle nuance of Duncan, from his left leg jutting out when he sat, to the fringy, feathery hair that somewhat covered his crooked little tail. His memory rests on a bench in my back yard and when I sit next to him and run my hand along his back, it’s like he’s back here with me again. Patrice has a work ethic and artistry that is enviable and inspiring and I am forever grateful for the loving tribute she created, honoring my gone but never forgotten, four-legged friend. - Mark Roberts, TV producer, creator of Mike & Molly, writer/producer of Bad Mule Inc.

I was so lucky to meet Patrice so that she could bring my elderly lab Maggie to life via her sculpture. She involved me in the creative process with several check-ins while she was building the piece, and the final work turned out to be exactly what I hoped for. Not only does it look exactly like Maggie, but somehow her spirit also emanates from it. I will treasure this piece for many years to come. Thank you Patrice! - Michael Cameron, MD FAAD

“Having a dog sculpture made was not something I thought I would ever do. Rolo was that one in a million dog, it was a huge heartbreak when he passed. Patrice put her heart and mind into capturing every aspect that made him so special. When Patrice Facetimed me after she had finished Rolo's sculpture, I cried when I saw him! Happy tears, joy filled emotions; I am thrilled that I chose to have Rolo sculptured. It looks exactly like him.” - Cindy ten Haaf, FL

“When our daughter saw her gift, she saw her angel. She burst into tears and said, “It's Kiki!” - Bev Whiddon, GA

“I asked Patrice to sculpt my beloved dog Gracie for my husbands office so he would have her with him even when at work.

I’ve never seen a pet sculpture so realistic!” - Tena Bos, Mt. Arlington, NJ

“Patrice captured Rosie flawlessly. During the design process, she was not only interested in Rosie's physical qualities but also her personality, which led to a sculpture that almost feels alive.

“Patrice made the process fun and collaborative. Words can’t describe our reaction to the outcome.” - Gary Krieg, NY
