The Key Biscayne-based artist has built her work around one of the most beloved subjects imaginable: dogs! Her masterpieces live at the intersection of craft and affection. Each portrait begins with a snapshot and ends as something worth framing, a piece that captures not just the look of an animal but its particular energy: the tilt of a head, the softness around the eyes, the personality that dog owners know by heart. Some are cute, some are heart-warming, some are downright hilarious! It all depends on the personality of each pup. For anyone who has ever wanted to give a pet the star treatment, her canvas delivers exactly that.
