If you'd like a piece of artwork with the likeness of your pet around your home as part of your family, it would be my pleasure to paint your precious pawrtner. I am always interested to hear about the different characters of cats and dogs and I would love to hear their stories if you'd like to share them. I am currently focused on acrylics as a medium, so I am giving a 15% discount on the second pet that you ask me to paint for you. I offer this on 12x16 inches stretched canvas. In addition, you would be helping out the Bide Awhile Animal Shelter as 20% is donated to their care programs for animals in need. Scan the QR code to order or visit the link for more information. Thank you! 🐶🐱🥰 - Francesca

Hello!! 🥰 I’m opening a limited number of pet portrait commissions. Alongside this, I’m now partnering with Bide Awhile Animal Shelter, where 20% of each portrait booked through this is donated to support their care and programs for animals in need.

A pet portrait is more than an image.
It’s your tangible memory of love and new beginnings with them.

Whether you’re celebrating a recent adoption or honouring a companion you’ve loved for years, I create hand painted portraits in watercolour and acrylic that focus on connection, character, and story.

If you would like a physical reminder of that bond, you can begin your commission by scanning the QR code below or messaging me directly. You can also learn more about the partnership here: https://fmurphyartstudio.com/adopt/

I take on a limited number of commissions each month to keep the work focused and intentional. Book to be on my painting queue and contribute to the care of animals at the shelter. ❤️😻🐶

The Black History and International Networking business expo held at the Halifax Central Library today concluded. It was busy and a lot of contacts have been exchanged. And I made a friend!

Thank you to ISANS for getting us a spot.

SOLD

Fledgling is available at until February 25th! A lot of this painting mirrors the experience of immigrants such as myself. As a fledgling in summer, he is introduced to the way of life, learning new things for the first time and receiving support from the community to fit in.

I moved to Canada in 2024 and found better ways to integrate through community. We're just like the crows! Paintings at the are $175. Please give Fledgling a home. ❤️
