Barking Bone Designs is the result of a merging of two passions. In college, courses in graphic design piqued my interest and led to an ongoing appreciation for media art and its creation. However, as life goes I ended up on a path towards animal rescue; I worked at a local shelter for over two years and became involved in the rescue community. Thus, Barking Bone Designs was born out of desire to beautify the world by creating art, but also by helping animals find a couch to call their own.
Frankly, while life and the path it offers were instrumental in its conception, Barking Bone Designs exists because of Gryphon. A puppy found as a stray in Montreal, Gryphon came to me and grew, and grew, and grew into a big handsome boy. It was he who inspired me to combine my love of art and animals. His striking features, in a variety of bright and lively incarnations, adorn the walls of my home.
Barking Bone Designs endeavours to provide a modern and artistic rendition of your beloved pet. Be it to showcase your current friend, or honour and remember those that have been and gone – or to have a reminder that, yes, you truly love the little pest despite the destruction of your bedspread - I will provide a customized print that will suit your pet and your home.
