Hi! I’m Heleza. I’m a Canine Advocate Artist on a mission to end canine cruelty through art. My work focuses on the lack of compassion and empathy humanity has for one of God’s most precious, loving and human-like creations, the dog.
Did you know that close to 65% of animal cruelty cases involve dogs and that 1 out of every 4 of those cases involve cruelty against one of the most misunderstood breed of dog, the Pitbull. As a mom of two Pitbulls myself, this statistic is heart-wrenching. It’s time to put an end to canine cruelty and I believe art is the key.
DISCLAIMER: Some of my paintings and the stories behind them might be unsettling to view and that’s ok. In order to change our reality, we have to face it head on. These works are not meant to point fingers at anyone specifically but they WILL shed light on what people do to these animals. Just remember, the painting is not the problem, it’s the person committing the cruelty.
Follow me on this journey as I paint to bring awareness to the severity of canine cruelty and to encourage compassion, empathy, and change for these sentient beings by bringing their stories to light through art.
