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
If I may brag on Laura Lodge
I am blessed …..I have watched her artwork develop over the years and she truly is a gifted artist. Her details and her colors and most of all the character of each animal really comes to life through each painting. I am so grateful to have an amazing painting that she recently did of my little Maltese Yorkie Gracie.
Gracie is no longer with me, but this life like painting of her is a welcome keepsake that helps to keep her memory alive. Thank you, Laura and may God continue to bless. you’re beautiful gift.💚🌹

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.
