Amy DeVane. Watercolor Artist.

If you know me at all, you know that I have always had a strong love for animals. I knew that I couldn’t handle working in a veterinarian’s office or in animal services because I just couldn’t handle the heartache. Heck, my dad would tease me because I would cry the moment the theme song for Lassie came on. EVERY SINGLE TIME…When the cartoon, Fox and the Hound came out in theaters, in the first 20 minutes, I cried the ugly cry so loud that the mom of a friend had to take me to the bathroom to calm down. I honestly don’t remember even going back into the theater. They probably clapped when I left.  Cringe.  It is now a well known fact that I cannot see animal movies or cartoons. That even goes for cute little dinosaur movies like The Good Dinosaur. Ask my son about that one, my child told me not to embarrass him. Knowing all of this, God gave me a paint brush to share my love. I am now able to help in the best way that I know how. I hope that I help others with their grief by creating special memorial pieces. Something that I hope when looked upon, will bring smiles and happy memories. Our fur babies provide unconditional love. Pure love. Something that humans don’t always do. In addition to my watercolor paintings, I have had the opportunity to paint ashes into paintings and necklaces. I never dreamed that I would ever do something like that. But I have and I hope it has brought peace to the loved ones. Thank you to everyone that has trusted me with creating special moments in time. Hugs.
