Chicago based artist, Anne Leuck Feldhaus’s vivid colors and bold patterns set the tone for her playful compositions which include animals, people, flowers, land and cityscapes. Anne’s prolific imagery is influenced by her dreams, travel, daily sketchbooks and her beloved adopted dogs, Izzy and Alice.

Over the last several years Anne has exhibited nationally in galleries, at fine art fairs, and on-line. Specializing in custom Dog and Pet Portraits, she is also an illustrator and is licensed for stationery and home decor products. In June of 2007 Anne created her largest work to date, an 11 Acre Field Sculpture in rural Illinois where she participated in the Fields Project Artist Residency. She chose the image of a frolicking dog to bring attention to animal adoption. This spring Anne realized her dream of opening a storefront Art Studio & Gallery in the Roscoe Village neighbor- hood of Chicago.

Anne’s art appeared in Jim Carrey’s 2007 movie, The Number 23 and has been featured in publications such as The Chicago Tribune and The Chicago Sun-Times, Modern Dog and programs such as Art Beat Chicago and Animal Planet. Anne is strongly committed to using her work to encourage animal adoption and financial support of animal welfare and shelter organizations. “My goal and mission is to give back to our dogs and cats all the unconditional love and devotion they provide us by spreading the word about animal adoption through my art and designs; to bring awareness to the plight of homeless pets and to help promote the many animal welfare organizations around the country that encourage pet adoption.”
