Inspired imagery celebrating the full spectrum of life
Images carry powerful medicine. They can encourage us, stir us, and move us to deeper
levels of experience beyond our thinking or knowing. This is the place of possibility from
which I offer my work. Whether in the form of a custom pet portrait that captures the unique expression of your beloved animal companion...
Or in my original line of greeting cards that
reflect both the grit and the grace of everyday
life... I hope there is something here that
touches your heart & uplifts your sense
of what is possible in the world.
--Jessica Schaffer, Founder of The Chrysalis Imagery


Pet Portraits . . .
It's all about love !
Anyone who is a parent to a pet can vouch for the fact that
we will go to great lengths to care for our beloved animal companions. What better way to express our love and
devotion than to commission a custom portrait that
honors the uniqueness of their personalities!
Clients consistently marvel at the sense of vitality and aliveness that emanate from my animal portraits.

Animal portraits also make beautiful memorial gifts
for those who have lost their special friend.
It's all about love!
Greeting Cards . . .

Have you ever wanted a greeting card that touched on
the challenges of everyday life in a straightforward and compassionate way? If so, you'll love my original line of cards designed to honor the full spectrum of what life throws at us. There is something here for every one of us:
from recognizing the complexity of loss & grief , to celebrating the courage of stretching into personal
growth, to simple sentiments of love & appreciation.

About Jessica . . .
Every good story has an element of magic and the unexpected within it.
• • • •
In my case, the element of surprise came when I learned late in life that contrary to my life-long belief that I was not "artistic" and that I could not draw, I discovered that in fact, I could draw! And that this expression would be both a path of joy for me and a gift to others.
