Meet the Artists Behind PB&J

Barbara Pezze, Jack, and their dog Pfred, the artists behind PB and J

Pfred, Barbara & Jack

I’m Barbara Pezze, and I’m proud to share this creative journey with my husband, Jack, an award-winning sculptor himself, and our spirited pup, Pfred.

After a life full of travel and adventure, nothing brings me more joy than creating together in our shared studio, blending pencil, wire, and a whole lot of heart.

Through colored pencil drawings and expressive wire sculptures, we bring art to life in multiple dimensions, capturing the spirit and soul of every subject we meet.

Testimonials

Custom pet portrait of Goose by Barb

“I can’t even put into words how incredible Barb’s work is. When she handed me the portrait of Goose, I was completely speechless. She captured Goose’s essence so perfectly, it’s like she brought her to life on the page.”

Every detail, from the sparkle in her eyes to the softness of her fur, is absolutely stunning. This was actually the second commission I’ve hired Barb for, and she has exceeded my expectations both times.

Custom pet portrait by Barb

“It was perfect. It made me cry. The eyes are amazing. The likeness was spot on.”

It was a great transaction. You were always available if I had any questions or comments, and it was done when you said it would be. I’d definitely commission Barbara again to do another project.

Custom pet portrait of Flower by Barb

“Barb’s talent is absolutely unmatched. When I saw the portrait she created of Flower, I was blown away. She didn’t just capture the likeness, she captured the spirit and personality.”

Every detail, from the shimmer in her eyes to the intricate patterns on the bandana, is full of life. It feels like I can reach out and touch Flower every time I look at it.
