Pet Portraits

I started these collages at the beginning of the coronavirus quarantine in March 2020. Working with dog and cat photos on my phone, I began collaging pet photos with found photographs of people from around the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. These new collages created fun pet portraits and I became obsessed with each image. Something about a cat or dog in a hat-it just makes you feel better. Then I started to get requests for commissions which helped me connect with others during the pandemic. People sent me photos of their pets and then I searched for the best 1890’s dress or suit that worked with their image.
