Time certainly flies and not a day goes by where I don’t think about Riley. It’s been two years since her passing and I have found so much peace and comfort over the past year due in part to what With One Line (WOL) has grown to become.
When WOL got off the ground, I never intended to receive countless commissions for pet portraits, but I quickly learned how many people out there were searching for a way to ease their pain and keep the memories of their lost companions alive just like I was. I’ll never forget that a customer once told me that Riley’s memory lives in each piece that I create. It was such a blessing to have read that, because, for those of you who don’t know, Riley was the impetus to WOL and a way for me to help cope with her passing. What started out as therapy for me has now evolved into something beyond any words that I can conjure up. I am utterly grateful for all those who have shared their stories and allowed me to play a small part in their lives. I hope that the portraits help serve as a reminder of the memories you have shared with your pet(s). - Dane |
