Brooklynn & Bubbles captures the quiet bond between a girl and her much-loved cat. Still very much a part of the family, Bubbles is a cherished companion whose place in their lives inspired this portrait. Working from a favorite photograph, Doug recreated the two nestled together, preserving a simple, affectionate moment that reflects the comfort and connection pets become such a natural part of.

About the Medium
Every Slater Design Studios portrait is hand-painted on acid-washed steel, making each piece completely one of a kind. The natural oxidation, patina, and texture of the steel become part of the artwork itself, creating depth and character that cannot be replicated on canvas or in print.
Unlike a traditional painting, the surface is constantly changing with the light. As you move through the room or as the time of day changes, different colors and textures emerge from the steel, giving the artwork a subtle sense of movement and life.
Many portraits also feature handcrafted three-dimensional metal elements. These details are designed specifically for each commission and transform the artwork from a painting into a sculptural tribute.
No two portraits are ever exactly alike—and that's exactly the point.
