Welcome to Mark it with a B Gallery - Wood-Burned Pet Portraits & More!


Formed in Michigan by independent artist Brandy Roels, Mark it with a B Gallery LLC is a small business that focuses on creating custom pet and people portraits, as well as niche fan art, fantasy art and wildlife art. Working out of an in-home studio (now) in Bloomington, Illinois, Mark it with  a B Gallery is dedicated to wood-burning done completely by hand and offers prints of original pieces printed straight from the studio.

All wood used for Brandy's pieces is sourced from companies in the United States only. Mark it with a B Gallery works with Walnut Hollow (in Wisconsin) and Fruitful Tree (in New Mexico).

​• About Brandy ​•

Picture
Art has definitely always been my life starting at age three. In 2015, I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design Summa Cum Laude with a BFA in Illustration. My focus was painting realistic portraits, but I changed course after trying my hand at wood-burning. I believe my experience in portraiture led to me finding the patience and detailed nature needed for wood-burning. 

​What keeps me creating is the overwhelming happiness I feel when someone wants a piece of my artwork as a part of their life. Knowing my art can have such a positive impact in someone's life is what drives me to be an artist and is the true inspiration for my business.

SHOP CLOSED!

I wanted to just thank you again SO much for all your support of my art and business, especially during a pandemic. I know I say this a lot, but you really are the reason I am able to live my dream of being a full time artist. This was such a crazy year with many unexpected changes all around for everyone. Hopefully, I can start taking custom pet portrait orders and open my online store sometime next year. Here's to a better (safer) 2021!

PS. Gift cards are still available and can be used when the shop opens again!

Happy Holidays & Meet Luna!
​(Follow her at: @lunaqroels)

Our rainbow baby, Luna, was born Sunday 11/15 (7 lbs, 4 oz), and I could not be more grateful. I had a natural birth (no medication, machines, etc) at a birth center with my midwife. Though it was hard and quite an experience, I’m happy it went how I wanted and that Luna and I are healthy. 

Other than baby Luna's arrival, Quinn (hubby) and I moved from Michigan to Illinois. I know, crazy timing! With the move and caring for Luna full time, I will be taking a long break from my business. Sending warm wishes your way for the holidays! Stay safe!

PS. If you are interested in hearing my birth story (or about natural birth), we recorded ourselves sharing the tale. You can watch it HERE!
