Animal Paintings-Pet Art & Portraits

Brent’s animal paintings, pet art and pet portraits (dog, cat, horses) began in 1987 with coverage in Town & Country magazine. She placed an ad for her pet portrait services, and in 6 weeks had 3 years of work. “PBS” did a national special on her pet portraits, as did “PM” Magazine, and other national television shows. She has been interviewed on numerous radio and TV programs. Her artwork had been featured in many national magazines and newspapers.

Atwater’s pet portraits are known to capture the Souls of her subjects. Brent’s signature trademark within each portrait is that the eyes of the pet follow you around a room, unless it’s not that pet’s particular personality to look at you, or the “pose” you have chosen doesn’t allow this to occur.
