About the Artist:

"In my work, Illustrate the incredible spirits within animals.  I want people to stop and think, "Look at this extraordinary spirit that just happens to be in the body of a dog."  With bold colors (usually not found in nature) I
try what artists such as Georgia O'Keefe tried - to have the observer take a "closer look" at what is often considered the ordinary.  I want to convey what is beneath the outside parameters and inward to the heart and soul.  I paint the personality and simply ignore Mother Nature."

"My work focuses on companion animals, many of whom are from shelters and are awaiting adoption.  I
donate a portion of the profits from my sales to help support animal adoption centers.  the majority of my paintings are commissioned by owners who wish to own a colorful reminder of their dog (or cat) that they can cherish for a lifetime.  After all, our companion animals simply don't live long enough, no matter how long we
have them!"
