Cherry Lane Dogs

My father died in 2002 and it was not until sometime after his death that one of my main subjects became the dog. So much so that I decided I wanted to honour the dog on a laneway fence and in 2015 I painted my dog and the fence owner’s dog at 333 E 8^th. This resulted in this fence and another at 805 Cherry St., in the New Westminster neighbourhood, and over 100 faces of dogs, and several cats. As well I raised over $8,000. for the BC and Alberta Guide Dogs and Dogs for Autism and was able to name a puppy after my dad. She is called Bertie and she now appears on an extension to the fence. My father and my mother can now look down on that work with great pride from above. The paintings on the fence are generally 4 to 6 feet tall and 3 to 6 feet wide.
