Hi
I love the expressive simplicity of your sculpture. And the purposeful serendipity of the way you give “life to leftovers”.
And your dogs are gorgeous. Art so simply imitating life!
kind regards

Which breed of dog are Ace and Porta?
I believe based on this that Porta is a Portuguese water dog, though she looks very different from the instances of the breeds that I know. If this isn’t right I’d love to know the breeds; they’re just lovely dogs.
