Pixels and Spark
At Pixels and Spark, we turn love into art—one handcrafted piece at a time.
Whether it’s a custom pet portrait, a map of your favorite place, or a heartfelt memorial, we transform your most cherished stories into decor made with wood, paint, and a whole lot of heart. Founded by a lifelong artist, designer, and devoted dog mom with a passion for adventure and making people feel truly seen, our studio is all about celebrating connection.
Everything we create is made for the love of love. I'll be showcasing custom dog memorial examples, breed-specific mementos for purchase day-of, and maybe some build-your-own dogs-in-a-truck Christmas ornaments.
