If you have a dog, you know that they are the best companions.
Canines celebrate our happiest moments and also are by our side during the most difficult ones.
Kirby began needle felting for create portraits of her own two dogs.
Wanting to add something fun to her gallery wall, she framed the pieces and liked the result.
Kirby has cultivated her own style by not trying to capture every detail of a dog.
Some artists create wire frames to build on and it helps their sculpture exactly match the photo reference.
I freehand my portraits so they are not as precise.
Instead, her aim is to highlight the intangible.
My goal is to capture the personality of the dog while keeping my own style.
