This year, I was asked to make drawings for the PSPCA’s annual benefit. There were 12 drawings in total, representing dogs, cats, horses and a bunny.
It was a request that I took very seriously, considering that my work as a volunteer at the PSPCA several years ago was the experience that inspired me to make animal portraits, and subsequently create Portraits by Colleen. Encouraging understanding and compassion of and for these creatures will forever remain a mission. Creating their portraits is one way to highlight each of their individual lives and personalities.
