Welcome to Best Friend NYC's  "Artist Spotlight" - a unique rotating online showcase of dog art . "Artist Spotlight" is a not-for-profit art installation providing artists with an opportunity to display their dog-themed artwork.

All of  the featured artists are equally inspired by our four-legged canine companions, yet each one uniquely interprets their passion for dogs into a distinct and truly original art form.   

We hope that you enjoy exploring these beautiful dog-inspired art galleries and share your experiences on our Dog Blog and Facebook Fan Page. Come back soon to see new artists and more dog art!


Best Friend NYC donates a significant portion of all "Artist Spotlight" proceeds to support ASPCA. 








 
JONATHAN CASTRO  |  New York, NY

Originally from Chicago, Jonathan Castro has relocated to New York 3 years ago after graduating from Iowa State University where he studied Ceramics and Photography. 

When he made the big move from Iowa to New York it was a dramatic lifestyle change. But having his beloved dog Madison by his side made the transition a lot more smooth.  She is a rescue dog from Harlem, NY and became a most amazing companion for Jonathan while he first lived in Brooklyn. Since then they both moved and Madison now became quite the Manhattan Lady.

Since his move to NYC Jonathan's focused his work primarily on ceramic design creating a unique style that combines both, the sculptural form and functionality. His beautiful bowls are one of a kind handmade masterpieces that would decorate any home and make dog feeding a lot more elegant of an affair.
