Welcome to the Jungle! My name is Michael Tassi and I am a professional portrait artist. While I specialize in creating detailed, life-like pet and animal portraits, I also work in the human realm, capturing likenesses of the famous – historical figures and entertainers - as well as those that may not be quite that famous yet.
Whether animal or human, I strive to capture, not only the individuals likeness through their physical characteristics and attributes, but the essence of their personality and uniqueness
A painting, or indeed any work of art, is the crystallization of an idea. It is a very special form of expression made up of feelings, innate skills, and learned behavior – and effort which often involves suffering-never lacking that intimate savoring of the act of creation which is the preserve of the artist.
Whether a unique gift for someone or simply a present for yourself, I look forward to the opportunity to share my talent and give you a sentimental and lasting representation of that special person or pet that you can treasure for many years to come.
