Furry Friends is a gallery that holds a special place in my heart. Growing up, I was often lonely and isolated, especially as a special needs kid who was bullied a lot. Pets were my solace and companions. My mom and I always had cats in our apartment, while my dad had dogs whenever I visited him. I naturally resonated with animals and cherished the memories I had with them.

This gallery is an attempt to capture those cherished moments and the essence of my pets through art. Whether it was getting a new kitten for my 10th birthday, my childhood cat bravely chasing off a big dog in the garage, or my dad's dachshund finding a rabbit during an Easter party, these memories are dear to me. Furry Friends is about turning those vivid memories into art, channeling the energy and spirit of the animals I loved without needing a camera to capture them.
