As a disabled artist passionate about art and disability, I’m excited to share a project that combines my love for painting with my admiration for our furry companions. Over the past few months, I’ve been working behind the scenes on something truly special, and today, I’m thrilled to unveil it. Drumroll, please… Introducing “Breed All About Us”!
What Is Breed All About Us?
“Breed All About Us” is a series of approximately 60 watercolor dog portraits that celebrate the unique charm and personality of various breeds. Each dog portrait is designed to highlight the breed’s distinct characteristics and temperament, offering a glimpse into what makes each one so special.
This project goes beyond simple pet paintings. These watercolor pet portraits aim to capture the essence of breeds while celebrating the bond we share with our dogs. From Louisiana pets to beloved New Orleans dogs, this series is a tribute to all the incredible pups out there.
Where to See and Shop the Collection
Once completed, the collection will be part of a traveling show (details coming soon). Alongside the original pet portraits, signed prints and themed merchandise will be available, including:
- Pillows
- Towels
- Blankets
- Trivets
Proceeds from the project will benefit local rescue organizations, giving back to the animals who inspire us every day.
A Book in the Works
In addition to the paintings, a book featuring the entire pet painting series is in development. While I can’t share too many details just yet, this book will be a beautiful way to showcase the art and celebrate these incredible breeds.
Custom Pet Portraits Still Available
If you’ve admired my watercolor pet portraits in the past, don’t worry—I’m still accepting commissions for custom dog portraits. Whether it’s a beloved family dog or a unique pet with a story, I love creating personalized pieces that capture the heart of your furry friend.
“Breed All About Us” is also perfect for those who may not have the budget for a custom painting but still want to own a special piece of art representing their favorite breed.
Calling All Dog Lovers
