Sharing studio space may not always be easy, but these artists were happy to share pictures and a few words about their furry best friends who keep them company (and often inspire them while they work!)
Roscoe
When not modeling, Buddy is especially helpful in picking out frames for my pet portraits!
Nugget
Lilikoi is a rescue kitten, now cat, from the Maui Humane society. She loves to hang out in the hammock and watch me paint!
Buddy McTavish
Colby is one of six rescue cats in our family. He’s my studio assistant and can usually be found sleeping on the job. It’s a good thing he’s so adorably cute!
Shadow, Halo, Maggie and Jaunty
My French Bulldog Tucker is my main studio assistant. He is eight months old. He supervises all of my activities and keeps me on a tight schedule. I have had dog assistants for most of my life. Tucker is the latest.
Ludo
This is Lily, one half of my duo of black feline studio mascots. When she’s hungry she’s been known to climb on the drawing/painting board and demand attention. Otherwise, she needs to approve my work before it gets posted online.
