Award-Winning Animal Portraits

Amy Fernandez is both a breeder and an artist and from her animal portraits, it is clear that the two are firmly entwined in her lifestyle. Since 1983 she has worked as a professional portrait and wildlife artist, and has completed over 100 commissioned portraits. She is represented in The Dog Museum and is a regular exhibitor at the "Art Show at the Dog Show", as well as the Contemporary Dog Artists Exhibition. She has bred and shown the hairless breeds Chinese Crested and Xoloitzcuintli, and has just published a book about hairless dogs. Amy believes animal portraiture is essentially a process of discovery. The artist not only seeks to achieve an accurate likeness, but must also reveal the subject's intangible qualities. A successful portrait will combine the elements of realism, simplicity, personality, and a confident artistic style.
