Kaye recreated the most stunning art piece from a photo of our fourteen year old dog Charlie, who had crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. And let me tell you there was not a dry eye in the house when we saw it! Truly the most special memorial piece of our little girl.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the pastel portrait Kaye Altenried  created of my beloved dog, Bella. From the moment I saw it, I was completely blown away. Kaye didn’t just capture Bella’s likeness—she captured her spirit. The warmth in her eyes, her gentle expression, and that joyful, loving personality are all perfectly captured in this piece.

The level of detail is incredible, from the softness of her fur to the subtle shading that makes the portrait feel so lifelike. It’s clear that Kaye puts not only immense talent but also real care and heart into her work.

This portrait means so much to me—it’s more than just art, it’s a treasured memory I’ll keep forever. If you’re considering having a portrait done of a pet you love, I wholeheartedly recommend Kaye Altenried . You won’t be disappointed.

After the loss of our beautiful boy, Rudy, Ted and I were gifted the most beautiful portrait of our boy. Kaye's talent for capturing an animal’s soul is evident in all the work she does. I call her work "art from the heart.”

  • Losing both of our dogs in such a short time was heartbreaking. When I received my portrait from Kaye, my daily tears transformed from grief into gratitude. Kaye captured far more than their physical appearance—she captured their essence, their spirit, and the unique personalities that made them so special. Every time I look at their portrait, I feel as though I’m looking into their eyes again. This gift has brought me so much comfort and healing. I am deeply grateful for Kaye’s extraordinary talent and the care she puts into every piece she creates.
