The Delightful Four-Legged Sculptures Of "Dog Artist" Skip Hartzell



South Florida artist Skip Hartzell creates unique art inspired by man’s best friend. He is best known for his unique sculptures recognized immediately by their distinct form and style only Hartzell can produce.



Renowned "dog artist" Skip Hartzell creates unique art inspired by man’s best friend. His inspiration comes in the form of a morning walk, accompanied by a furry friend. The canine-inspired artworks that he creates are figments of his artistic imagination and creative vision. Hartzell creates directly from his emotions and instincts, his work is inspired by dogs of all shapes, sizes and varieties.


Hartzell creates large paintings, works on paper and four-legged sculptures that capture the essence of “dog”. "If you love dogs, you are going to love Skip Hartzell's soulful pieces. His work is representative of caricature features of dogs," said J. Marshall Adams, the executive director of the A.E. Backus Museum and Gallery in Historic Downtown Fort Pierce where Hartzell has held exhibitions.


“Dogs are always in the moment. Although nothing in life has held my attention longer or has been more fascinating to me than dogs, my work is about much more than that. It is about form, movement, color and texture. The dogs are a recognizable common denominator that allows me to communicate my joy of living, passions and sentiments,” explained Skip Hartzell.
