Bronze Portrait Statue of Therapy Dog Unveiled

Monty the Therapy Dog is Back At Roswell Park

My new bronze dog portrait statue of Monty the therapy dog was unveiled at Roswell Park Cancer Institute  in Buffalo, NY on July 17, 2012
Watch Fox 13 news story about the dedication:

Larger than life bronze dog portrait of Monty was installed on a fine black granite

The statue is placed by the entrance to RPCI, at  the garden, where everyone can see and interact with bronze Monty.




I sculpted Monty standing quietly, waiting for people to approach him, just like he did in real life.

Here's a nice article by Anne Neville about the dedication, published in Buffalo news:

Bronze dog statue of Monty

The placement was chosen to make it easy for wheelchairs to access the statue. The bronze is designed to be interactive and will welcome visitors and patients to pet Monty and rub his nose for good luck. 

I was invited to the dedication and had a chance to meet wonderful people who work at RPCI and a few special dogs, who continue Monty's noble task of healing and helping people.

So many beautiful dogs! They are all smiling..

Bronze Portrait of Tigo the Dog

TIGO, A VERY SPECIAL PORTUGUESE WATER DOG

As you probably noticed, I love dogs...Anything about dogs makes me happy: playing with them, taking them for a walk and, of course, sculpting their portraits.

This is one of my favorite statues-beautiful Portuguese Water Dog Tigo.

The most important and challenging part was depicting Tigo's intelligent eyes. But I did it!

My client was very pleased with the likeness. I got an e-mail from her saying:

"DEAREST LENA,

HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL!! THANK YOU FOR BRINGING OUR WONDERFUL BOY HOME..."

And yes, she wrote it all in caps. :)

I am so grateful to be able to create this special statue.

Animal Art and Dog Sculpture Video

We put together a new video featuring animal art and dog portraits. It seems like I have been sculpting dog non-stop for a past couple of years... big dogs, small dogs, dogs that brighten lives of their owners and dogs that serve and protect.. all of them deserve to be depicted in bronze.




Animal art has always been very special to me. I thought that creating a video about my animal bronzes would be a right thing to do. My very special thanks to an incredibly talented video producer Mikhail Torich and to my dear friend, voice over artist Barbara Dunlea, for letting us use her beautiful voice.
