About Us

Welcome! My name is Maryle Malloy, and Pixels4Pets is my baby. Pixels4Pets is a division of my company, Wide Web Advisor, LLC. 

By profession, I am a graphic and web designer with 30+ years of experience. As the owner and COO of a marketing agency, my time is limited for extra-curricular activities. However, my passion for art, animals, and graphic design leads me to carve out time from my agency to create custom portraits for clients. 

Taking a high-quality photo, I digitally re-master it, applying oil paint, watercolor, or modern pop art techniques to the photo. 

As a concierge client, I work with you on every aspect of your project, from consulting about the image itself to the interior style of your space, colors, and placement within the space. Once that phase is completed, we’ll select the right media, be it canvas or fine art paper, and select the mounting, finishing, and framing. 

I charge a flat, all-inclusive fee for our Concierge Service. Quotes are provided based on individual needs.

Pixels4Pets works with individuals, designers, and businesses requiring specialized print projects as a fine art reproduction print provider.

All our printing is done here in the United States, using environmentally sustainable items. 

Animals

My history with animals began as a toddler watching our cat give birth to a litter of kittens. Never without a companion animal by my side, I’ve lived with and loved dogs, horses, cats, and even a rat or two. I’ve been owned by mixed-breed dogs, as well as Dobermans, Australian Shepherds, Great Pyrenees, a Silky Terrier, a Springer Spaniel, Gordon Setters, Golden Retrievers and Dachshunds.  I’ve owned Morgan horses and Quarter Horses. I’ve competed in equine events with Morgans, Quarter Horses, and  Thoroughbreds. The cats in my life ranged from a barn cat or two to a beloved Siamese, two Rag Dolls, and my current beloved cat, Amazing Grace.

My constant companions are Skyler, a Wirehair Dachshund, and Grace, who I refer to as the “purrfect” cat. Skyler was a gift to me from noted Wirehair Dachshund breeder Shirley Ray after I lost my two Longhair Dachshunds from old age several years ago. That’s Skyler sitting next to me on the log in the above picture. I found Grace at the tender age of 7 weeks at Watermelon Ranch, a local shelter here in Albuquerque. The moment I held her, I knew we were destined for each other. My portrait of Grace which I created from an iPhone photo appears on the homepage.

Dogs & Dog Shows

In 1988, I acquired a Golden Retriever puppy named Torry. A year later, I acquired a puppy bitch, Trina, who would become the foundation for my successful breeding program under the kennel name Goodtimes Golden Retrievers. In a span of 10 years, Goodtimes produced 25 champions, Best in Show dogs, Outstanding Sires and Dams, Obedience champions, Search and Rescue dogs, and the foundation stock for a Guide Dog organization. My book, The Golden Retriever, An Owners Survival Guide, was the recipient of a Dog Writer of America award in 2004 and can still be found on Amazon and other bookseller sites. I am a retired AKC judge. I was approved to judge Golden Retrievers and Junior Showmanship.

Horses & Horse Shows

As a child growing up in the Northern California countryside, I developed an early interest and love of horses. Unable to have my own horse, I nevertheless spent hours sitting with horses in pastures, and dreaming that one day I’d have my own herd of horses. At the age of 27, a wife, and mother of three young children, I began to live my dream and began taking riding lessons.

As I progressed, I purchased my first horse. Bay. Now Bay was a bit of a disaster for a novice owner. Even though I was boarding him and riding with my trainer, he was too much of a horse for me, so he was sold to a more experienced rider.

As I progressed in my abilities as a rider,  the show bug hit. Fast forward to the beginning of my show career riding Morgans and a Thoroughbred or two. I rode in Western pleasure, English pleasure, Pleasure Driving, and Dressage.

In 1972 I purchased my first Quarter Horse as a yearling; thus began my dream of living with a herd of horses. Under the ranch name, R & M Quarter horses, my husband and I produced numerous AQHA Superior Halter and Superior Pleasure Horses. I took off my spurs and boots and hung up my hat in 2012. I miss it every day!

My Promise to You

 “From a very early age, animals helped me cope with uncomfortable situations. Creatures, both large and small, have made my life more complete. In return, I’ve loved them, cared for them, and suffered with them as their time on earth ended.

Just as I have cared for the animals entrusted to my care, I promise you that I and my team will handle your precious photo memories with love.”
