marfa Art by Dogs

A tongue-in-cheek approach in showing the canine-human connection to art and culture.

If you would like to submit your dog's art work to the Online Gallery, please email the curator at  kc@texasdogtrainer.com with the subject title "mARFa Art by Dogs".  Work must be original and created by a dog artist and include a description of the work. 

All images and text are copyrighted material and may not be reproduced without the express written permission of the artists. 

“Art is about communication, and presenting a visual image or object is an opportunity to communicate different threads of a complex message in a single moment. Instead of simply uttering a statement, the artist makes an image, object, installation or performance and imbues it with content. Work presented to a viewer is an open package, with ideas and images offered by the artist and selected by the viewer…Object making is a way to try and make sense out of an increasingly complicated and scary world.”          – Bill Wolff, Sculpture

Cozy's work is eclectic in its artistic expression.  Through her art, Cozy seeks to express the inner and outer self; the wild wolf and domestic dog.  The dream-like imagery is a quality in all of her work,  the full meaning of which can only be perceived from the heart.
