I create custom portraits of your beloved people & pets.
But that wasn't always the case. 

(A bit about me, Whitney Parker Scully)

In the late '90s, I completed my first commissioned pencil portrait. The subject was a young girl who'd passed away, and I really wanted to get it right. After several hours of poring over every detail, I took a deep breath and handed over the finished product.

​

My client cried; I was hooked. 

​

But life got in the way. I thought drawing was an awesome hobby, but it certainly wasn't practical. 

​

Fast forward to 2019. A friend asked if I knew anyone who could draw a pet portrait. I half-joked she should pay me to do it. She agreed, and I haven't looked back.

​

It took me 20 years to reignite this passion!

​

I love to create meaningful art. I work from a photo of your beloved person or pet, and turn it into a timeless piece of art. Please enjoy exploring my website and work!

​

I live in Columbus, Ohio, with a wonderfully supportive husband and an unreasonable number of sons.
