BIO
I like to paint all subject matter, but my preferred focus is Pet Portraits. My goal is to keep their memory alive in a life-like watercolor portrait.
Un-interrupted painting, music, a bouquet of fresh flowers, the fragrance from a lit candle, and a glass of fine wine. These are my key ingredients to a successful painting experience. Cheers!

Testimonials
I am so grateful to God that he has blessed you with this artistic talent. I can only imagine how many families you have blessed with painting their pets, a timeless memory that we each will cherish of the times we shared with our fur babies. First you painted my Tuxedo Cat Rocky then my Chihuahua Chica and now my Maltese Coco. You catch every detail and your portraits become more and more lifelike. I can never thank you enough for your generosity. God bless your beautiful heart. I can envision them all hanging out together, lol. I love and appreciate you, my dear friend. I thank you with all my heart. 💜 ♥️ ❤️

I miss Rocky every day. He was my little buddy. I may not be able to pet him anymore but Laura created such a beautiful painting of him that I can look at every day! Thank you Laura.

15 years of love and happiness, now a memory, but brought back with a beautiful portrait by Laura Lodge. Who loves Lucy? I love Lucy!

Thank you Laura for creating another watercolor masterpiece of my new beagle Abigail (Abby)! Your beautiful painting will be added to my three other beagle wall paintings all created by Laura! Her paintings are AMAZING and I highly recommend her work. Thank you Laura for my stunning painting .

Birdie was my loyal friend, a friend I will never forget. I am so thankful for Laura, another true friend of mine. Laura did not just paint her picture, but her personality. Birdie's kindness came through her eyes, as she is begging you to throw the ball and her smile which she always had. The painting took a little of my broken heart away. Thank you again, Laura!
