    New York City amongst the United States as a whole, is forever grateful for our first responders on this day of 9/11 and therefore after. But we must also remember the first responders in fur form, our dogs. Dedicated to our first responder K9s including our search and rescue dogs, on site therapy dogs, cadaver dogs, military dogs, police dogs, and all dogs involved. You are all good boys and good girls. 

    Resume

    Adopted from Colombia and came to the States at only a few months old, I quickly found art to be a solid part of my life. I started drawing around 4 years old and my parents supported me throughout my artist career. 

    I graduated with an associates in illustration and Fashion Institute of Technology, and graduated with a bachelors in graphic design at Empire State University. I began as an independent artist working for myself and other clients. 

    Shortly after graduating, I found myself in a career working with dogs. I was a manager at a dog daycare for 9 years, started my own pet services business and started my own dog portrait business. I developed my own style for digital portraits and paintings. I combined both my love for dogs and art and continue to spread my art throughout the community to celebrate our dogs.
