About the Forest of friends

My painting style is bold and vibrant, combining colors and shapes to create emotionally evocative pieces…

Real Pets. Real Stories. Real Magic.

The Forest of Friends is a magical world built on love, belonging, and second chances. Inspired by the real personalities of MeMe, JJ, Tuffie, Tank, and other pets in Serena’s life, the forest becomes a home where each character learns important lessons about emotions, bravery, and friendship.
Through cozy adventures and gentle storytelling, children discover that challenges can be faced together — and that everyone has has a place where they truly belong.
