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.

"I love dogs, cats, the garden, and the great outdoors. In all of what is nature and natural, there is an inspiration for my paintings," says Marie. The artist was born in California, raised in Seattle, and spent time in Las Vegas and Corvallis, OR. She has a BFA from UNLV and taught at Chaparral High school in Las Vegas for 10 years before moving to Kansas City, Missouri in 1980.

Marie recently opened a new studio and gallery at 616 Main Street in Weston, Missouri where she exhibits her multi-faceted contemporary art including the dog-inspired artwork. She also exhibits at the Strecker Nelson Gallery in Manhattan Kansas.  Marie helps animal rescue organizations  around the country raise money with her personal art contributions and through Bella Company, Marie's t-shirts and caps company.
