Hi, I'm Akshaya! I live on Vancouver Island with my husband, our wild toddler, goofy dog, and rescue cat. It's a busy, chaotic, happy home.
I worked as an Animator for kids' shows but needed to create with my hands. My love for animals, nature, and vintage aesthetics is what birthed "Oils by Akshaya".
I would be thrilled to capture the spirit of your beloved pet in the regal, timeless style they deserve.
"Akshaya managed to pull an amazing still from a video to really capture her personality. My husband absolutely loves the portrait – I’ve caught him stopping to just stare at it several times."
Brittany W."Her artistic style and technique seemed especially suited to making the fur appear very realistic. Her attention to detail, especially with the eyes, brought our pet to life."
Dave and Debbie Johnson"Extremely talented artist who can capture the personality of her subjects with ease. Kind and caring person who I cannot recommend enough."
