Artist Anneli Kirby creates incredibly adorable 3D dog portraits made from felted wool from her Richmond, Virginia, studio. Kirby explains that she seeks to capture the dog's personality rather than a photorealistic replication in her portraits, although they do appear rather realistic.
Each portrait has a unique style while capturing the pets personality... These are more of a fun caricature of your dog and not perfectly photo realistic. The material is wool roving on a colored felt background that creates a 3D effect.
While Kirby is only doing dog portraits for now, specifically one at a time, although she hopes to move on to other animals soon.
I hope to add cat portraits in the future. I do not typically offer two dogs in one portrait, although there have been a couple of exceptions.
