Art With Paw-pose: Great Dane Mozart Paints with a Message
Artist Statement: I am the Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue Spokesdog against puppy mills, pet stores, and homeless dogs. I have dedicated my life to this cause and in doing so I create art by painting with my paws. Painting helps me to overcome my pain of my early days in a puppy mill and also helps with bringing awareness to these issues.
I was one of the June 2007 featured Artists for the Mac Worthington Art Gallery in Columbus, Ohio. Click here to see more of My Paintings on the Mac Worthington Art Gallery Website:

Artist History: Mozart was purchased at the Ohio Amish Dog Auction but was discarded soon after at a county dog pound. As a "product" of a Mennonite dog breeder, Mozart was terrified and didn't know what to expect of humans and life outside a cage--he had been raised as livestock rather than as a pet. Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue, in Bethel, Ohio, came to Mozart's rescue by offering him a safe and healthy environment with lots of love.
Details: These paintings are on stretched canvas and painted with acrylic paint. None are framed. To purchase a painting email mozart@hhdane.com. Shipping is not included in the price. Please include your zip-code for shipping cost. You may use paypal to purchase a Mozart Painting.
