Meghna Amonkar worked in a corporate setup for decades as a creative professional. Although climbing the corporate ladder had its own perks and high points, there came a time when it all began to feel monotonous. She realised that she needed something new and challenging.
It was around this time that her pet dog Taco walked into her life. He became the reason behind pursuing Meghna’s passion project that connected the dots between her love for animals and art. And with that, Pet-traits was born!
Pet-traits, as the name suggests, is about creating personalised pet portraits. For Meghna, it’s a way of honouring the wonderful animals that she has sketched and sculpted. Like her brand, her process is quite unique too! She starts by enquiring with pet parents about their fur baby – their likes, dislikes, quirks, and their body language. She loves noting and studying the minutest of details in the animals she illustrates – from their fur coat patterns and sleeping positions to the pigmentation on their noses - because for Meghna, the key to a good portrait is to capture the soul of the subject.
Every time Meghna sits to work on her portraits or sculptures, the process is quite sacred for her. She feels this immense responsibility towards providing the best quality through her art, and striving to capture the essence of that animal. Meghna has big dreams - years down the line from now, she wants people to recognise a Pet-traits dog, just as they recognise MF Hussain’s horses!
