I myself love animals and have lived with them
since I was a child. Now I have one dog as my
family, and love her so much. However, we had
another dog in the past. Her name is Lucy. When
I lost Lucy, I struggled with pet loss.
At that time, I decided to draw a portrait of Lucy.
I had many photos but I felt “I want to give a lot
of love to her by my hand like before.” When I
saw the finished portrait, Lucy was looking at me
like before. I felt “Lucy lives in this portrait and in
my heart.” And I could recover from pet loss.
I started to draw portrait with a hope that it will
be some help to people who are suffering with pet
loss like me. Of course, I am drawing to make
everyone happy.
I gaze the photo sent from the customer, and
enjoy drawing thinking about the dog’s
personality.

Lucy
She is my oldest daughter Lucy.
She was elegant and bright.
But also was a little cheeky and mischievous girl.
Atelier Lucia is named from Lucy.
In a Northern European tale,
an angel named Lucia trick to people sleeping at night.
I thought this tale and Lucy’s image match exactly,
and decided to name her Lucy.
She is my house’s mascot dog forever!
Sally
This is my second daughter Sally.
She is the mascot dog of Atelier Lucia.
She is always cheerful and energetic cute girl.
However, her appetite is a little too large.
She might help the class together??
