Watercolor Pet Portrait Artist Based in Portland, Oregon


Hi friend!

I’m Vanina, the artist behind Create + Chai Studio.

I live in Portland with my husband and our golden doodle, Bowie. I started Create + Chai because I wanted to build a life where I truly enjoy the every day and the process of the work.

When I’m not painting pet portraits, you can find me bouldering at my local climbing gym, watching an anime show, or playing a cozy video game.
