canine activist artist

I am a pastel painter, and my work is dedicated to ending canine cruelty. With the softness of my pastels, I confront hard truths, each layer of pigment becoming part of a story too often ignored. My work gives form to the silent suffering of dogs abused, abandoned, or forgotten.

Pastel to me, is intimate and raw against the fingertips. I use it to tell the stories of those who cannot speak: the eyes that remember pain, the bodies that carry scars, and souls that did or did not endure.

This is not gentle work, despite the gentle medium. It is a witness, tribute, and protest. Through my art, I aim to awaken empathy, inspire compassion, and push for a world where cruelty to dogs has ended.

Join me on this journey of activism as I paint to bring an end to canine cruelty.
