Raised in the lap of luxury, Lady is thoroughly faithful to her adoring "humans," Jim Dear and Darling, and knows little of the hostile world a dog can face beyond the privilege of the "collar and leash set."

"My art is inspired by the works of Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. Boldness and simplicity are the keys to the success of my portraits. The Vibrant color of the background accents the shapes and shadows and enhances the three-dimensional appearance."
