Fine Art Dog Prints
presents
| My art career started out fairly well.
I received my BFA (with Honors) from Pratt Institute (NY). I also studied at other reputable schools, such as the Art Students League (NY), The School of Visual Arts (NY) and the Brian Shaw School of Art (in London). Not being a shallow person, I spent the next few years in NY striving to make art with great meaning. We can call that period “the lean years”. |
 |
| Next I moved to Newport, RI. There was fresh air! There were cows! I just wanted to paint cows and so I did. It was fun. It was profitable! People like cows!! Soon I had cow posters, cow calendars, cow T-shirts. I moved on to other animals and created a poster series, which was under my name at that time- Steinhauser, published by Arnold Art. Wild Apple Graphics became my second poster publisher. | |

After painting cows, pigs, ducks and bunnies I decided to paint something I love.
I love Lucy - my dog. That painting of Lucy was “discovered” by a wonderful catalog
company called “In The Company of Dogs”. They urged me to paint more charismatic
canines. I have found that dogs afford an endless supply of character studies and a
lovely outlet for my peculiar sense of humor.
I now publish many of these paintings as limited edition prints. I call my business Purebred Editions. Everything seems to be going great, in fact, many of my prints have won the esteemed Communication Arts Award of Excellence for 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001! For the past 3 years my paintings have been winners at the Contemporary American Dog Art Competition and 3 times received Honorable Mentions from the Society of Illustrators. Oh, and “In a Heartbeat” and "Dachshund Devotion" placed at the Art Show at the Dog Show! So my art has “gone to the dogs” and I couldn’t be happier! |
