mission-driven handcrafted original art
Pet Portrait Love StoriesBy San Francisco, Bay Area Artist,Sarah Howard Joost
Every pet has a story and we are on a mission to help ensure every pet's story is a LOVE STORY.
We donate a portion of proceeds from each order to animal rescue organizations
We believe the work of organizations such as Dogwood Animal Rescue Project, Muttville, humane societies, and wildlife rescue teams are doing some of the most important work on the planet. And, for those of us who can’t be there when they liberate a puppy mill, shelter an abused animal, or trap/neuter/release, we can try and help financially. That’s why proceeds from each Tails + Tales Art piece goes to selected programs. Thanks for helping us help them! Since inception, we’ve raised funds for:
Pay tribute to your pet with a one-of-a-kind work of art handcrafted in honor of the love you share.
Pet Portrait Love Stories
Each Portrait is handcrafted alongside a vibrant hand-written story to compliment the visual piece and tell the unique tale of your furry friend.
Each Pet Portrait is a Handcrafted One-of-a-kind Work of art
Created with nothing but good vibes by hand on a natural birch wood panel using an image transfer and mixed media process, each piece comes hang-ready or can be table-top displayed.
Each Pet Portrait Includes a written 'Tale' starring your pet!
You’ll answer a series of questions that will form the outline for your pet’s story to be embellished and presented on the back of each woodblock art piece.
WE DONATE A PORTION OF PROCEEDS TO ANIMAL RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS
What better way to honor the special bond between you and your critter than by helping other animals in need? Since inception, we’ve donated proceeds to Northern California animal rescue projects and beyond. Let us know if there is a special organization you’d like to support. Whether it’s proceeds from a commissioned piece or you’d like us to donate art for a fundraiser, we would be grateful to help.
