Pet Portraits with Personality

 

Created by Eileen Burgess 

About

Eileen’s pet portraits are moments in time that capture and preserve the personality and the likeness of your beloved animal companion.

Greatly influenced by pop art and photorealism, Eileen works in a representational style that is both bold and precise.  Her preferred mediums are oils on canvas and pencil on charcoal paper, but she is open to working with other media.

Eileen has taken part in numerous group shows and fund raisers; including

  • “Get Your Licks on Route 66” for the Watermelon Ranch Animal Rescue Service held at Art Gallery 66 in Bernalillo, NM
  • The Good Dog Foundation animal assisted therapy program
  • Port Chester Obedience Training Club Rally-O
  • and most recently, the 7th annual My Dog Loves Central Park Country Fair presented by Central Park PAWS.

Eileen has a client base in New York, Maryland, Florida and New Mexico, and she has a commissioned ornithological piece hanging in the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
