Lorena Pugh Limited Edition Canvas Giclee:"Still Life with Yorkie"Item #: PE-3Title:Still Life with Yorkie Edition::S/N Limited Edition 500 Image size: 16" x 19" About the Artist: It started out fairly well. I received my BFA (with Honors) from Pratt Institute (NY). I also studied at other reputable schools, such as the Art Students League (NY), The School of Visual Arts (NY) and the Brian Shaw School of Art (in London). Not being a shallow person, I spent the next few years in NY striving to make art with great meaning. We can call that period “the lean years”. Next I moved to Newport, RI. There was fresh air! There were cows! I just wanted to paint cows and so I did. It was fun. It was profitable! People like cows!! Soon I had cow posters, cow calendars, cow T-shirts. I moooved (sorry) on to other animals and created a poster series, which was under my name at that time- Steinhauser, published by Arnold Art. Wild Apple Graphics became my second poster publisher. After painting cows, pigs, ducks and bunnies I decided to paint something I love. I love Lucy - my dog. That painting of Lucy was “discovered” by a wonderful catalog company called “In The Company of Dogs”. They urged me to paint more charismatic canines. I have found that dogs afford an endless supply of character studies and a lovely outlet for my peculiar sense of humor. |
