All About Art, Animals, and Pet Portraits

In episode 11, I welcome my guest, Ciara Barsotti. Ciara is an artist and pet portraitist living in Chico, CA with her husband and their two cats, William Blake and Nobody. Her and husband are also expecting their first baby in December. Ciara is an animal lover who grew up with a menagerie of wonderful pets. As an artist, she explores and celebrates her love for nature and animals through her work. She also captures the personality of others’ pets through her commissioned pet portraits.Ciara also wanted to share some of her art with all of you, my listeners. She created a special all dogs coloring page! You can download it at the link below.
