The Hounds of Tennessee · Archive
A completed tribute to Tennessee’s hounds.
Coonhounds and foxhounds run through Tennessee’s history. This series honored them. It is closed to new nominations.
Signature Projects
Work the studio is built around.
Beyond commissioned portraits, two ongoing projects carry the heart of The Dog Form.
Why These Exist
Work that answers to no client.
A signature project is work the studio makes because it should exist, not because someone asked for it.
A commissioned portrait is made for one family. These two bodies of work are made for the record. The Hounds of Tennessee is the studio’s completed series on the working hounds woven through Tennessee’s history, in the studio’s low-key style, each portrait paired with the dog’s story. It was made before the move to Maryland. The Legacy Project exists for families whose time with their dog is short, so no one is left without an image of the dog they love.
Both are ongoing. Both are open to dogs I have never met. Neither one begins with a booking. They begin with a note about a dog.
The Legacy Project
Every dog deserves to be remembered beautifully.
A compassionate initiative offering portraits to families with senior and terminally ill dogs, so no one is left without an image of the dog they love.
