“Ashlee drew portraits of our four beloved dogs and we are beyond happy with the art she has produced. The attention to detail on all pieces made all of them unique and really captured the true beauty of our dogs. She drew the portraits timely, which was a reflection of her artistic expertise and her prompt and efficient communication. The drawings are high quality, lifelike and worth their value.

“I contacted Ashlee about creating a commissioned piece of a friends’s recently deceased dog. She was very prompt, and provided advice and guidance during the early stages to capture the feel and vision. Along the way she provided updates and ample opportunity for open feedback. The resulting drawing is nuanced, carefully considered and of high quality. I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend Ashlee for any kind of pet drawing.”

“I came to Ashlee with a request to hand draw my friends hound for his birthday. Ash was nothing but entirely accommodating with everything I wanted and made exactly what i wanted happen. And for everyone who’s had the pleasure of knowing Ash you know how much she loves animals and it really shows in her work. The finished product was nothing shy of incredible”
