Elizabeth Knowles, recently featured here @ The Nice Niche , creates paintings, sculpture and installations inspired by organic forms in nature. However, 9 years ago with the adoption of a beautiful Golden Doodle Cassidy her artistic practice has expanded to include animal portraiture. Consequently, in addition to her abstract work found on elizabethknowles.com, she has launched a new website yearofthedogart.com showcasing fantastic paintings of dogs and other living creatures.
