Dog on the Wall is about capturing the
thoughtful expressions and the unique personality of your dog.
So how did Dog on the Wall come about? . . .
In 1997 I graduated from Davidson College with a Fine Art degree.
During my time as a student I began experimenting with dogs in
my paintings. Many people ask me, "why did you start painting
on snack boxes?"
That's a great question with a simple answer.
After a friend left a box of cookies in my studio, I snacked
my way into the evening and kept thinking about how much dogs
love "people food." Before the night was over I had
painted my dog, Gumbo, on the box, anxiously stretching for a
Nilla Wafer. Snack boxes soon became a place where I could expose
the many faces of an expressive dog. Treats bring out the best
in a dog so I find it to be a great fit. For the past 7 years
I have been painting on canvas and snack boxes in an effort to
capture the most unique expressions of our furry friends.
I currently live in Denver, a dog's paradise.
