Remembering Emma


Welcome to Snanimals, where each shoe is handpainted with LOVE. 

Jane Perillo, founder and artist of Snanimals, is inspired by her children.  She handpaints each adorable little bug, animal, and character with the detail and creativity of a mom creating for a child.  Her creations provide Jane with a way to remember and honor her late daughter, Emma, and she believes that Emma lives on in every pair of shoes she creates.  In addition, Jane is creating for others something that is fun and practical and that children can wear every day.

The big sellers, according to Jane, are Minnie Mouse, Elmo, Cupcakes, and Ladybugs.  Jane enjoys the colorful ones, particularly the green and pink ladybugs and the cows.  Along with many different shoes to choose from, Jane also handpaints baby booties, onesies, bloomers, and totes.   


Jane's daughter, Anna, is a great and willing shoe model who makes it clear which ones are her favorites!  She prefers the sneakers, and she loves Elmo!  Anna has quite a shoe collection for a kid!
