🐾 Tiny portraits. Big personalities. ✨

I had so much fun bringing these sweet faces to life! I am a huge animal lover. Every whisker, stripe, and little expression tells a story. So thankful for the trust to recreate these.

Custom commissions are always welcome—I’d love to paint your furry best friend next. 🖤

✨Happy Sunday funday! ✨

Looking to get outside and enjoy this beautiful day? ☀️ Load up your partner in crime and take a drive to check out Wildflower Market for some hand made goodies and thrift finds!

We just updated our inventory with some new fridge magnets and prints! 🖼️

I also have a few original paintings available for purchase! See a painting you love and don’t want to commit to the price of an original piece? We can make prints of just about any painting for a fraction of the cost! A print is simply a high resolution photograph of the original piece.

Message the page for more details!

Happy Sunday Yall! Thank you for your constant support 🖤

Hi, I’m Mackenzie—the artist behind Cardinal Creations! ✨

I’ve been creating art for as long as I can remember. Painting and drawing have always been more than just hobbies to me; they’ve been a way to express myself.

By day, I’m a paramedic and a nurse, caring for people during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. While those careers have taught me compassion, resilience, and attention to detail, art has always been the place where I can slow down, be creative, and simply enjoy the process of making something meaningful.

I especially love creating oil paintings inspired by nature, birds, botanicals, and landscapes. Every piece is created with care, and I love knowing that my artwork can become a part of someone’s home or a meaningful gift for someone they love.

Starting Cardinal Creations is a dream I’ve had for a long time, and I’m so grateful you’re here to be part of it. Whether you’re here to browse, support a small business, or commission a custom piece, thank you for following along. I can’t wait to share my artwork and this journey with all of you! 🖼️
