NPDD appreciates the arts, and especially art that celebrates our purebred dogs. It was to our benefit when Israel fashion designer, Nirit Levay, left her career after two decades to pursue her real passion: Art.  She has become a gifted multidisciplinary artist by working mainly with recycled material: bicycle chains, motorcycle pistons, keys, light bulbs, watches, and more. Her series, “Unchained,” is a collection of amazing life-size dog sculptures made out of recycled bicycle parts, mostly chains. “My intention was to capture the dogs’ gentleness and sensitivity, each one and its own unique expressions, despite the use of scrap metal. Hope you’ll enjoy it. I love to make people smile through my art.”

It’s hard not to smile at Levay’s clever dogs. You can find more of her work at her website.
