“Sam Barnes is a beautiful person who creates equally beautiful paintings. I discovered her work on Instagram shortly after losing my dog, and something told me to reach out. I just knew it was right.

Sam is incredibly talented and genuinely one of the kindest people I have ever met. She makes the whole process feel so easy and communicates openly every step of the way to make sure you’re always on the same page. I loved being able to take part in her creative process and watch her ideas come to life.

Sam is a true artist. She captured my dog’s personality perfectly and seemed to instinctively know how to represent him in a way that meant the most to us. I don’t know how she does it, but I am so grateful to have crossed paths with her at just the right time.

Thank you, Sam, for the love and care you poured into honoring my dog. We will cherish our painting forever. ❤️.”

“I met Sam a few years ago and she did a fabulous portrait of our dog Woody, she absolutely ‘got’ him and we were so thrilled that we commissioned her to do our new dog Bruce.

I sent several photos of Bruce to Sam and after a few previews we received the final Bruce. Love the size..big.. and most importantly she absolutely captured the essence of Bruce. Cannot thank her enough. Wonderful!.”
