Tamira Thayne is available for commissioned works.
If you'd like to commission a piece of artwork,
please e-mail Tami@littlegirllooking.com
Tammy
will create a one of a kind piece for you using your photos, stories,
and ideas, combined with images she photographs for the piece.
You will possess an original work of art.
A one time fee, plus per piece printing fee for duplicates,
would apply. Contact her for an estimate.
Below
is a sample piece created for a client in memory of his cat, Rusty.
Another
sample piece created for Sharon in Florida, who named her
dogs after her favorite foods, peanut butter, vanilla, and marshmallow.
She's also into rock and roll, pink, dressing her dogs.
Below
is a recent commissioned piece for a client in Texas. Niloo
requested all five of her companions in the work with a blue
background. Niloo is very much into Animal Welfare, and so
I chose a Gandhi quote to title her piece. I went with a
blue sky with puffy clouds, and gave her companions angel
wings. I hope when she views the piece hanging in her living
room she feels a sense of peace, harmony, and hope for better
lives for all our companions to come.
