Meet Charla Schwartz


Hi, I’m Charla Schwartz, a decorative and canvas artist with over 20 years of experience in transforming spaces and honoring the beauty of creation. I started this business with a heart for more than just painting I wanted to help people experience the healing power of art in their homes and lives. Whether it’s through a soulful portrait of a beloved pet or a breathtaking mural that tells a story, my work is rooted in the desire to bring beauty, comfort, and joy to others. My journey has been shaped by two things: a deep love for animals and a calling to create beauty that heals. Through decorative painting, faux finishes, and heartfelt custom canvases, I’ve had the honor of walking with clients through seasons of celebration and even seasons of grief. What many of them share after working with me is that they don’t just see a painting they feel seen, comforted, and loved, sometimes in ways they didn’t expect. That’s because I believe every brushstroke can reflect God’s love, and every pet is a precious gift worth remembering. What Guides My Work My business is built on the belief that beauty brings healing, and that grieving in the presence of beauty especially when shared with someone compassionate can be profoundly restorative. I believe that our pets are beloved gifts from God, and honoring them with artwork helps keep their spirit and joy alive.

At the heart of my work are these values:

  • Compassion: Walking alongside those who are grieving or celebrating with gentleness and care.

  • Faith: Trusting that God's creation speaks to us and through us.

  • Excellence: Bringing decades of artistic skill and attention to every piece I create.

  • Connection: Creating meaningful, personal art that reflects your heart, your home, and your story.

Got Questions?

Can my portrait be shipped anywhere in the world?

Yes, I offer shipping all over the world. Cost will be calculated into the final price of the portrait.

What photos do you need in order to paint my portrait?

Multiple photos are good to have for different lighting on the animals’ fur. Choose your favorite photo/pose that you want me to paint. If that is the only one you have, that if fine. But at least 3 is ideal to capture shading and different angles of your pet’s face and body.

Can I have multiple animals in one photo?

Yes, but there is an additional charge for multiple animals. Different backgrounds can be added as well for an additional charge.

How long will it take for me to receive my finished portrait?

Please allow 2-3 weeks for your completed portrait!

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, I require 50% upfront and 50% with the completion of your portrait.
