About the Artwork
---
 
Wintypals is a series of illustrations based on the daily life of Winty, the red poodle. He is a peculiar red poodle who does not posses the typical poodle personality & behaviour. As an example, he hates being groomed (said no poodle ever), hence the messy, dreadlock-y and frizzy hair. He doesn't like being carried like an arm candy, but he loves car rides and going on a long hike.
 
Neighborhound is a celebration of all the dogs the artist meets in her neighborhood, which each of these dogs have connected or sniffed butts with Winty during his daily walks. She knows each of them by name, though she has no idea who their owners' names are.
