Dogs (2000–2019)
I am fortunate to share my life with several wonderful dogs. They are my dear friends and companions. I love to paint them, along with the homeless dogs of our Port of Spain community, and the dogs of my human friends. Dogs, like human beings and all other living creatures, have an equal right to life. They are loving, vulnerable, intelligent, and experience emotions just as people do. Mutually, we earn each other’s trust when we love and protect, when we are steadfast. My dogs are a constant reminder that all life is sacred.
