Welcome to PB & J Art — the creative studio of Barbara and Jack Pezze
Meet the Artists Behind PB & J
Pfred, Barbara & Jack
I’m Barbara Pezze, and I’m proud to share this creative journey with my husband, Jack, 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 two dimensions — capturing the spirit and soul of every subject we meet.

"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, right down to the tiniest details, like the shimmer in her eyes and the intricate patterns on the bandana. It feels like I can reach out and touch Flower every time I look at it. This piece is so full of life, and I’ll treasure it forever. Thank you, Barb, for your incredible artistry!"

"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 was done when you said it would be. I’d definitely commission Barbara again to do another project."

"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. Her work is so much more than art; it’s a memory I’ll treasure forever. Thank you, Barb, for your amazing talent and for giving me something so special!”
