THE ARTISTS

Two Sisters, two different parts of the country, two different artistic styles, sharing one main thing. The love of dogs. All dogs. Every shape, size and personality. It is this love that shows in the exceptional quality and artistic detail that is exhibited throughout all their pieces. Although Laura and Holly are utilizing distinct styles and media, each is creating an original piece of art that reflects their passion for dogs.

WHY DOGS? I never had children, so my dogs are my kids. Yea, I'm crazy about them. I choose homes based on how large the backyard is, if a doggie door can be put in, etc. Travel is sometimes out of the question because "what about the dogs?" I have one that stays at my side 24/7 (which makes bathroom breaks a little embarrassing). I haven't taken to dressing them up yet, but who knows- if that perfect outfit comes around... They are my joy, and I could not imagine life without them. ~Artist Laura Sotka

Through their years of creating these unique dog art pieces, each sister has had their favorites. This grouping has been put together to form "The Breeds" series shown here. Any of these pieces are available as a series edition, signed and numbered by the Artist, or a glass reproduction of the pattern shown on this site, also signed by the Artist. Commissioned pieces can be done from your own personal dog photo. What a special way to include the canine member of the family in artwork that is displayed in your home. Holly and Laura feel privileged to donate a portion of the sales from this site to the Pets Alive! Rescue Center in Bloomington, Indiana and the Houston Texas SPCA www.houstonspca.org

Artist Nancy Boecker has been surrounded by art since birth. Her family of artist includes her great-grandfather, her grandmother, her mother and the late Gerald Curtis Delano of Denver.

"I love what I am doing. Being able to express myself in this way has been a very positive and happy part of my life. Hopefully these feelings will be felt and enjoyed by others through my artwork".
~ Nancy Boecker

Artist Veronica Blazewicz resides in Colorado where she is active in Pug rescue by providing foster care and is a consistent contributor to 11 other dog charities. Internationally collected and highly collectable, her dog art blends fun and whimsy to the breeds while holding the integrity of the dog's features in tack.

Artist Lee Smith is a self taught artist who has received honor awards for her work in still life, portrait and figurative. She is a member of the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society and The Center For Visual Artists. She has exhibited group and solo, including at The Greenhill Center for North Carolina Art and Folk Fest 2004 Atlanta. Her work is on display in galleries in both Carolinas, at Ecards.com and in private and other collections in the United States, Canada, Australia, South Korea, United Kingdom, Ruissia and Sweden.

"My portraits, whether human or animal, are tender expressions of purposeful sentimentality.
My goal is to capture the spirit that's present in all things revealing the beauty, joy and dignity of singular moments. What I've learned is that at the end of the day, life is a tapestry, woven of the tiniest threads, those smallest of pleasures."
~Lee Smith

Artist Kathleen Sepulveda has been drawing and painting dogs since childhood. Her first awards were won before her teens, with many to follow. Being a native of Southern California she had the good fortune to view some of the great dogs of our time. Traveling throughout the United States, South America, Puerto Rico and parts of Europe, she has studied many examples of each breed. Kathleen's work is well known for capturing the true spirit of each breed. Her exquisite attention to detail is her trademark. Kathleen brings a new approach to the art of dogs by incorporating graphic design to fine watercolor drawings and paintings as well as computer generated images. Ms Sepulveda's art is a part of private collections throughout the world.
"I believe dogs enrich our lives and therefore celebrate them through my art"
