Meet our Featured Artist 

Tina Higgins

I was blessed with an ability to create art from the time I could hold a pencil, and like many, my love for animals goes back as long as I can remember. When I was 4 years old, Joyce Harlow, (my Preschool’s Founding Director, and Houston-based artist) would tell my mother “Tina is an artist”. And she was right. I received a degree from The Art Institute of Houston, worked several years as a graphic designer and moved my way up to executive art director for multi-million dollar startups. But my desires to be creative always felt quelled until Luna came into my life. Luna is my white, frisky, (and very stubborn) Pekingese with a larger-than-life attitude. It was Christmas 2022, and I had since sworn off getting another dog due to the sudden loss of my Pom, Princess, which was earth shattering.

I had to take the chance on love again- and I’m so thankful I did. Luna’s antics were too cute not to record, and soon she garnered views on her own IG social media account @luna_the_white_pekingese. The response was inspiring, but the pup community was on a whole other level. It encouraged me to spend more time online with these like-minded, positive individuals and let my creativity flow.

I decided to pull out some dusty art supplies and whip up some quick paintings of Luna and Princess under a new IG account @yourpuppainting. Requests came in immediately! Today, I enjoy providing high quality, original art at a reasonable price, as I nurture my creativity and use it as a self therapy tool. It’s a win-win for both parties. And the pleasure I get from positive feedback? Well, that’s just the icing on the cake!

But seeing Luna’s eyes took me to a place I’d never felt.
