Barking Dog Creations

Barking Dog Creations was born to celebrate our pets, rescued animals and the sacrifice and work of the volunteers who help these animals in need. In every image created I hope to portray the joy and love of our animals. My work has celebrated and memorialized animals throughout the country. From custom oil painted portraits to graphite sketches placed on jewelry pendants pet lovers are sure to find amazing work to immortalize their furry friends!

What customers have said:

"AMAZING! CONSTANT COMMUNICATION! MADE SURE IT WAS PERFECT! I LOVE HER AND HER PRODUCTS!" - Jesse Brooke

"Very talented and kind seller! One of our beloved dogs recently passed away, and Evelyn recreated a perfect drawing of her (from the photo I emailed) and set inside a very nice key chain. Now I will also have something to remind me of a dog wherever I go. Thank you, Evelyn - you did an amazing job, and it was exactly the way I hoped it would be!" - Janie Smith

"I received the ornament with a beautiful pencil sketch of my Havanese, Virginia today. Evelyn did such a great job. It is a wonderful christmas gift for me and my two children!" - Amelia Miller

In 2010 I created the event theme and image, “A New Leash on Life,” for the annual Art of Rescue fund raising event held by Florida Boxer Rescue at the Tampa Florida Art Museum. I receive many requests from rescue organizations to donate custom pet portraits to be auctioned at fund raisers. Cocker Spaniel, Boxer, Golden Retriever, Greyhound, SPCA organizations and many more have all requested and been recipients of my donations.

My fine art is represented by Rhea Chiles’ Studio at Gulf and Pine on Anna Maria Island Florida, DeZion Gallery in Springdale Utah, and held in private collections throughout the US, Australia, France, Spain and the Netherlands. I have been awarded artist residencies at Zion National Park, Weir Farm National Historic Center, Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts, the Jentel Foundation, and Dorland Mountain Arts Colony. I also serve on the governing board of Myakka River State Park with a dedication to bring artists and nature together. WILD: Artists and Animals of Myakka, an annual fundraiser featuring top artists of the Sarasota area is curated by Evelyn.
