Artist's Statement

Keyvn Cundiff

With my pet portraits I try to depict a special moment. A snapshot, in glass.

Stained glass, strangely, seems to capture animal essence excellently. The stillness that animals achieve lends itself to the crispness of glass. Moments, seized.

Yet, glass is fluid, and animals flow. Mysteriously, impressing us with their grace... And their goofiness. Especially dogs. The most serene dog can give a grin and get a laugh.

And, playing to the laugh, I include a favorite toy in most of my pieces. Pet's props. Even the proudest cat has a plaything. Possibly you.
