Sketchpad Gallery and Chinese Cultural Center teamed up to celebrate Chinese New Year for an incredible art show, inspired by the Year of the Dog. I created six illustrations of the most popular dog breeds for the show, mixing personality with traditional Chinese design and flowers that are symbolic to Chinese culture.

The show was held at the Chinese Cultural Center in San Francisco, and was on display from February 22- March 17, 2018.
