Pet-Picasso Designs

I am Natalie Austin, the owner and self-taught artist behind Pet-Picasso Designs! I was born and raised in Rock Hill, South Carolina. I recently got married and moved to Greenville, South Carolina. In my free time, I enjoy weight-lifting at the gym, baking, spending time with my husband, my family, and my dog, Lacey! Before I created Pet-Picasso Designs in 2020, I worked as a Dental/Orthodontic Assistant. Gratefully, I am able to work as a full-time artist now and I love it so much! My goal/purpose as a pet portrait artist is to bring glory to God and to serve others using the talent He has generously blessed me with! I hope to one day serve you by capturing a portrait of your pet, or even your beloved pet, for you to cherish fur-ever.

I’ve always had a love for art! While in school, art class was my absolute favorite. Drawing realistic portraits was my strongest point, but I never tried to paint anything realistic at the time.

In 2019, I had some free time and wanted to paint a portrait of my own dog, Lacey. A few months after, I painted my best friend's dog for fun and gave it to her as a birthday gift. After painting my first dog portraits and seeing how much joy it brought myself and others, I knew I had a gift that I wanted to share with the world. This is when I decided to create Pet-Picasso Designs. I love painting and I love animals, so why not combine both and make it into my own business? Ever since I created Pet-Picasso Designs in 2020, it has grown so much and I could not be more thankful! Seeing my customers happy when they receive their paintings means everything to me! Pet-Picasso Designs has been such a blessing in my life!
