Montgomery County artist Joe Brewer began creating beloved works of art for pet owners dating back to 2018.
Joe Brewer's home art studio is filled with sketches pets. And not just his.Brewer says he offers "smiles" and "sometimes a closure" for people who have pets that have passed away.He and his wife, Rosemary, started this second act together back in 2018, alongside their golden retriever Malia, a rescue from South Korea.Rosemary runs the business, while Joe's tapping into artistic talents that had been on the back burner for decades.
"I went to Hussian College of Art in Philadelphia, which is a four-year program, where I was an illustrator/designer," he says.He says that sales experience helped when they started traveling to higher end art and craft shows for this venture. Instead of using oils or watercolors, he uses pastel on an 800 UART sanded paper to give his work a different, more three-dimensional look.He says he draws "mostly dogs and cats and horses," but he'll draw other animals too, like Sombra, an alpaca.When doing a pet portrait, Brewer asks for three photos.When working on portraits, he gives his clients what he calls a "sneak peek from the drawing board.
Then, he sends a little bit more of the drawing over the course of a few days, "so they're actually seeing their fur baby done in real time."Brewer says he enjoys the excitement of "bringing the fur baby to life again." "It's a fun business to be in," he says.
