ARTIST STATEMENT
"These works are based on my own dog, Chilli. For anybody that has ever met a heeler or cattle dog, you’ll know they are a wilful, fiery dog. They also have this incredible capacity for love and tenderness. I can't quite comprehend these two natures in one body. These paintings are an attempt to reconcile the untamed beast and the affectionate companion."
