About The Artist

,

Sheila Wedegis has specialized in painting Labrador Retrievers for the past 11 years. Sharing a couch and bed with three Labs her love of these beautiful creatures had to be translated to the canvas.  Sophie, Sheila's Muse, is the oldest. Sophie is affectionatley called "The Queen" and if you have a Lab you know why!  Fergus, the only chocolate, is next and loves being the studio assistant along with the youngest Sammy.  Their tails help to not only mix the paint but also to spread it on various canvas and door frames.

    Sheila attended art school in Boston, Massachusetts studying Illustration and Design along with drawing. Oils came later and as Sheila will say, "the doing every day is the best teacher". While raising two children Sheila continued to paint and show her art work  throughout the country. It is now collected not only in the US but in England, France, Germany, Australia and Spain.

Sheila also contributes and helps raise funds for several Lab Rescues around the country which can be seen on her blog.
