Lintu Art

Family and pet portraits, dog-inspired artwork

My inspiration to create dog-centric art came from walking Marilyn, my Shar Pei around Lake Harriet for a summer. It led me to start my Dogs Around the Lakes events. Volunteering with Rotta Love plus, adopting George, my pit bull, were also influencing factors. As both people and dogs are social animals, I find it interesting to observe the connections between them. These connections inspire me to express the bond between person and dog through artwork, celebrating the uniqueness in each subject, exploring artwork beyond realism. To keep exploration fresh, I choose to work in several mediums such as oil and acrylic paint, oil and soft pastel, ink, graphite, photography, and colored pencil. Lintu Art's studio in the Northrup King Building is open each First Thursday and by appointment.
