Stephanie Lanoue, known to most as Stephe, is the creative force behind Dog Art by Stephe. A master-level artist with a passion for animals, she specializes in crafting realistic and emotive pet portraits using oil or acrylic on museum-quality canvas. Her artwork has earned her several awards and can be found in private collections across Texas.

Stephe's journey into pet portraiture began when a friend asked her to paint a portrait of her beloved dog. The joy and gratitude expressed by her friend upon seeing the painting inspired her to focus her artistic talents on capturing the unique personalities of pets. With a Master of Arts degree in Biology from the University of Houston at Clear Lake, Stephe combines her knowledge of animal anatomy with her artistic skill to create stunning and lifelike portraits that bring joy to pet owners everywhere.

Her love for animals extends beyond her art, as she shares her home with four furry companions. Her goal is to create art that not only captures the likeness of a pet but also embodies the love and companionship they bring to our lives. Stephe's pet portraits are a heartfelt tribute to the bond between pets and their owners, celebrating the joy and happiness that animals bring into our world.
