My name is Miriam Levenstein and I work in the computer field, but art is my hobby.  I draw in pen-and-ink, pencil and charcoal, and paint with pastels and oils.  I work from photos primarily, though I also sketch from life (lots of sketches of my dogs napping).  Most of my paintings are small-to-medium in size -- from 11 x 14 to 16 x 20.  I would love to paint a portrait of you and your pet, or one or the other.  You can reach me at miriam.levenstein at gmail.com.
