Dog Is Love Dean Russo

The story behind Russo's classic kitties and dynamic dogs is a lovely tale of animal rescue awareness. Russo would visit shelters and ask for photos of adoptable pets to paint. He would then donate proceeds from the paintings back to the shelter. Shortly after this activity, both he and his unique paintings developed an impressive following and Russo continues to advocate on behalf of animal shelters to this day.

"My greatest inspirations are art and animals. Animals expressions allow for endless possibilities, and portraying the energy and joy that can sometimes be lost in otherwise preconceived notions of the subject is what drives me."
--Dean Russo
