Art Work

Art with Heart

Shari’s artwork is created to capture more than a likeness — it honors the spirit and unique presence of each animal. Every piece reflects a deep connection and understanding, transforming cherished moments and memories into lasting works of art.

Working from the photographs you provide, Shari brings each animal to life with sensitivity, intention, and care. While soft pastel is her preferred medium, she also creates artwork in graphite, charcoal, acrylic, and oil.

Spirit & Memorial Portraits

Some connections live forever in the heart. Shari's portraits are created with deep respect and compassion, offering a meaningful way to honor animals who have touched our lives and continue to do so in spirit.

These pieces are gentle tributes — capturing presence, emotion, and memory in a way that feels comforting and timeless.
