About

I grew up with a natural talent for art in a small suburb north of Pittsburgh. After high school, I pursued my passion at Edinboro University, earning a degree in Art Education, and later returned as a grad student for a Master’s in Art.  As an only child who always loved dogs, I got my first one when I turned 28 – a Vizsla named Sayge. I painted him as “The Mona Vizsla,” a playful reimagining of Da Vinci’s masterpiece, but with Sayge’s face and crossed paws. Sharing this painting led to requests for portraits of other people’s pets. I began participating in events and fundraisers for local animal shelters. Once I joined Facebook, created a page for my work, and advertised my donation offer, the business flourished. I was able to work from a home studio and be a stay at home mom. Sayge lived a happy and healthy 16 years.

Over the years I wanted to offer my clients more ways to enjoy their pet’s portrait (or a photo of their pet) from clothing and accessories to home decor. I researched and found a print on demand company offering a wide range of products known for its high-quality products and global shipping.  When a customer places an order, the product is printed, packed, and shipped by the third-party print-on-demand service, so every order is one of a kind. You can  search the shop for items with your favorite breed, or if you’re interested in a special customized keepsake of your furbaby contact me @ ashleybeechreid@gmail.com.
