Hand Painted For You!

 My name is Tatum Joy Gonzales, and I'm 13 years old! I learned how to paint at Mission Renaissance, where I studied different artistic styles, including those of Van Gogh and Monet. Through learning the techniques they used to create their masterpieces, I was inspired to develop my own unique style. 

 I primarily create watercolor artwork but have experimented with many different mediums. My main focus is painting dog portraits. The first dog portrait I ever painted was of my aunt and uncle's beloved pet who had passed away. To honor his memory, I decided to paint him. After seeing the portrait, everyone encouraged me to create pet portraits for others. I love the joy it brings people when they receive their paintings!
