Dog Art Today Quoted in The Toronto Star

Written by

Recently I was interviewed by Francine Kopun of the Toronto Star newspaper about the upsurge of interest in dog art. Her story, Good Boy, Now Sit…For a Portrait ran today. View it here.

Farley is by Katie Sonnichsen who is also featured in the article. Dog art continues to make news. Very exciting for all of us artists and dog art lovers!

Hi, I came across your blog by reading the article in the Star. It was a really nice read. I’ve been doing pet portraits in watercolor and pen and ink and didn’t think there would be much of a market for them until I took my art on the internet. Recently I began doing pet portraits on framed ceramic tiles using the Cafepress service. Being a doggie person, this is a really fun thing to do. Anyway congrats on the article!

Hello, the Farley picture is taken from a picture of our dog Farley Phillips. Farley was a sweet kind soul who sadly passed away 2 years ago. I am so happy we had this painting done and Katie did some a wonderful job. Thanks Again. Hayley Phillips
