Artist Statement:
I have always felt close to my
dogs. I rescue them from
shelters; however, I believe
they rescue me. My dogs
provide companionship,
inspiration and help me cope
with loneliness due to a
managed environment from
asthma and MCS (Multiple
Chemical Sensitivity).
Many people indicate their
cats provide them with the
same comfort I have enjoyed
from my dogs. Though I am
unable to have them because
their indoor waste odor of
ammonia triggers my illnesses,
I have incorporated cats into
my portfolio at the requests
of other passionate pet owners
like myself.
My watercolor paintings,
colorful abstract
representations of feline and
canine life, are universal
symbols for all cats and dogs.
These animals, like people,
come from many different
backgrounds. Some breeds were
mixed to create new breeds.
Cats and dogs adopted from
shelters may be a potpourri of
breeds.
I use mood-evoking color to
move past breed specifics by
painting happenings,
circumstances or situations
occurring in the lives of cats
and dogs. I see many similar
parallels in pets and their
human guardians. When we move
past specifics of breed, race,
etc., I believe the bigger
picture in both species is to
be loved and accepted.
