We all know our pets have big personalities, but have you ever wondered about their artistic taste? We challenged our team to dream up the perfect gallery for their furry companions, and the results are as unique as their pets:
Finn
Owner: Betsy Johnston, Co-Director
Art Selection: Alexander Sheversky, Sunday Morning
“Finn loves hanging around when we are eating brunch to get any scraps he can… he even likes coffee! ”

Doug
Owner: Nicholas Ramlal, Photo Editor
Art Selection: Nathalie Boissonnault, I Would Like to Get to Know You Better
“I rescued my Mini Goldendoodle, Doug, from a shelter in his later years, after he had been deemed ‘too old’ for breeding. When I brought him home as my first dog, he was cautious and a little overwhelmed—timid, curious, and unsure of his new surroundings. But with patience, care, and plenty of love, he’s truly come into his own. Similar to the artwork, Doug is a happy, playful companion who’s always ready for an adventure or a relaxing evening in, as long as he’s given an invitation to be included.”

Mister Pocket
Owner: Chelsea Little, Art Consultant
Art Selection: Matt Devine, Gold Rush
“Mister Pocket’s name comes from “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs”, wherein a gold miner is referring to finding ‘a pocket of gold’. We’d like to think we struck gold with this handsome, fluffy golden/orange ball of energy. He would probably be very drawn to Matt Devine’s Gold Rush 2, as it both emulates his personality and could be great fun to climb on (although we wouldn’t seriously recommend that).
Violet
Owner: Patti Gregory, Art Consultant
Art Selection: Ariel Vargassel, Insatiable
“Violet came to us from Brandywine Vet as a stray. She is so sweet the veterinarian named her Honey but when we met her she became Violet. She is the flippy-floppy girl with a clownish personality, She chose Ariel Vargassel’s painting Insatiable. Violet is a stylish girl, and would like the gentleman’s suit in the painting and also the pink donuts.”

Moose
Owner: Ofri Shmul, Art Consultant
Art Selection: Hunt Slonem, Moose
“Moose would choose Hunt Slonem’s Moose because it captures her playful, curious nature. The vibrant colors and lively energy in the painting reflect her own zest for life, while the connection to her name makes it feel like the perfect expression of her unique personality.”
