Dog Portrait Artist Reed Evins

As a child in my father’s shoe factory, while under his desk, I often played with shoe ornaments and pieces of leather. I would deconstruct the ornaments and, with the leather, reconstruct them into new shoe designs. I quickly realized I had my own creative vision and that with my hands, I could create anything. 

During my career as a shoe designer, scissors became instrumental in cutting paper patterns. I applied this skill to my original art, and, inspired by my love of dogs, I created my first hand-cut dog portrait. Word of my custom dog portraits spread, allowing me to assemble an extensive portfolio of commissions. 

The American Kennel Club soon took notice and started selling prints of my original dog portraits. The concept of expanding my dog art to include unique gifts became irresistible, leading me to create a collection of gifts for dog lovers. 

Welcome to my store! 

“...love, laugh, bark!”
