" The Deliverance Dogs" Collection:
where devotion becomes fine art

As the founder of National Dog Day and National Cat Day, among others, her life has always been defined by the love of animals…their resilience, their loyalty, and the way they save us when we need saving most.Animals are not just muses in her art…they are the heartbeats behind it. Years ago, she met her late husband through a rescued Chihuahua. Later, after that dog passed from a brain tumor, they adopted another…a tiny Chihuahua survivor, found dying beneath a dumpster, covered in burns. That little soul became his constant companion during his battle with young-onset Lewy body dementia (the same disease that consumed actor Robin Williams), standing by them through the darkest years.During that time, with no family to lean on, her only solace was her dog and her art. They were the two things that kept her breathing. After her husband’s passing, she was drowning in grief…suffocating in utter despair, until she believes he sent someone new into her life. A love who became her air, her sunlight, pulling her out of sorrow and reminding her what it feels like to create again.This body of work is born of that journey…of loss, survival, resilience, and rebirth. It carries the spirit of her late husband, who loved abstract art, but is dedicated to the man whose love brought her back to light after intense darkness and grief. Each canvas, painted in a refined palette of cream, chocolate, black, and gold, speaks to the timeless connection between humans and their pets.
