I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Hamby (Brandon) at a craft show in late November, 2009, where she had on display examples of "pet portraits" completed by her. My girlfriend, who is an avid animal lover and pet owner, absolutely loved her work. Needless to say, I immediately knew what I had to get my girlfriend for Christmas - a portrait of her beloved dog "Shelby".

The end result was incredible!!! I couldn't wait to give it to my girlfriend, and to this day she maintains that it is the best present she ever received.
