A rabbit turns up his button nose, buckteeth bared and whiskers akimbo. A pair of guinea pigs nose up to the foreground. A rooster stares stoically like a war general. These unexpected angles and lively details denote pet portraitist Annamarie Glass's work. Her oil paintings take animals as their subject, and in vivid colors against white backgrounds, she captures the personalities of family pets and reincarnated ancestors alike. Creating these commissioned portraits of pets, Annamarie has satisfied both her love of making art and her love of animals. Since the age of 8, she's taken all kinds of art classes—life drawing, sculpture, digital photography, and painting—culminating with a BA in art from Maryville College.
