Evelyn Dorn
creator of Phoeboo Designs
I am a self-taught artist with over 40 years of experience. Creating art and writing has always been my "go to" place, where the world and all its issues disappear. Drawing my inspiration from the world around me ignites my imagination. I still get excited when a blank piece of paper comes alive with what I have created. As an artist, my favorite two mediums of choice are pen and ink and watercolor. Now I share with you those paintings I have done and the opportunity to commission a portrait of your favorite pet.
About Phoeboo Designs
Meet Phoebe, also known as "Phoeboo", my four and a half pound red stag miniature pincher. Phoeboo lived to be seventeen years old. We miss her....but we are thankful that we chose to feature her on our website. Her drawing was the first of twenty. The collection of "Puppies in the garden" has been reproduced on note cards which are available for purchase both retail and wholesale. Contact me if interested.
- PET PORTRAITS created with watercolor that captures a special moment in your pet's life can be commissioned by submitting your request on the contact page. I work from photographs and guarantee 100% satisfaction.
- WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS are now available for purchase. These are my original watercolor paintings that were used to create my notecards.

Literary Paws
I sat quietly in one corner of my new, comfortably cured up upon the soft pillows of the couch with kitty at my feet. The ray of morning sun gently warmed our favorite spot while I contemplated the thesis of my next essay. My movements were slow and deliberate as I put pen to paper. Like my furry friend, I paused in a manner, stalking, curiously approaching each idea floating across the floor mysteriously, like a dust ball; then I chased it, toyed with it, and finally captured it. Overwhelmed by my conquest, I burrowed deeper into the crevices of the couch, displaced my domesticated comrade, and contently rested my eyes. Pussycat later returned to make a point of reclaiming her throne and I awoke anguished by the palpating critical thoughts of revision yet to be done. Maintaining an aloof attitude, I repositioned myself in front of the computer. My blinkless stare, mirrored in the screen of the monitor, sent silent messages to my fingers, while my feline cunning continued to peruse my literary efforts. The twitching of Kitty’s tail kept time with my drumming digits, as I carefully considered my next move. I arose, only to prowl about the room in search for the words to bring my message to a close. I took an adventurous leap. And landed noiselessly upon my feet.
